curt raitz Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 I had a friend send me this model to build for his collection. It's a 1/20th scale model of the McLaren MP4/27 Lewis Hamilton drove in the 2012 Australian GP produced by Fujimi (GP-43). He qualified on the pole, but finished in third place. Body is painted with Mr. Color Super Metallic "Plate Silver Next" SM08, kit decals supply the additional colors. Typical Fujimi plastic model kit, everything fits superbly! This is what a front wing with 27 pieces looks like: only took about 5 hours to build, ooofta! thanx for looking' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bernard Kron Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Gorgeous. All that finicky detail serves a purpose in your capable hands. The impeccable fit and finish stands up beautifully to your close up photography. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

curt raitz Posted September 9, 2014 Author Share Posted September 9, 2014 Looks perfect. Does that kit come with engine detail? Thanx It does not have engine detail to speak of, just what you can see through the body. It is your basic curbside F1 car model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
