1981 McLaren M81 Mustang? 1:25? 1:24?

[JDMallday]

Hey everyone, just thought I would share this with you all, It would be really cool to have someone do this in a Scale Model like 1:25 or 1:24. Tell me what you guys think about the Car, I personally like it!

There's only so much you can do with 1980's styling, a pencil and a ruler.

You're amazing Jesse! I had this kit in the stash for awhile and sold it. It would take a fair bit of work to make it look like the 1:1 starting with some appropriate wheels and tires.

I was just talking about how the box art looks compared to the real car! Looks like the only thing close to right is the hood for the specific parts, and is it me, or does the roof look too tall?

[Atmobil]

I'm not sure the roof is too tall, you may be fooled by the wheelarch extensions on the real car. I think the model will need a lot of work to look alright.

Thanks for the replies everyone, and I never knew they made a kit already, might try to find one in the future.

I have 3. A ton of work to get the fenders right. I have had the pleasure to see a real one. Was about ten years ago. A thing of beauty if you think of the era it was developed in.

[JDMallday]

Nice freakshow12 I wish I could see one in person, do you have pics of the one's you did?

[freakshow12]

I have never built one yet. I have been gathering them up as they are kind of hard to find. They come with a collector card etc. I will build my opened one someday

[Rob Hall]

I built this as a kid back then, along w/ the Monroe Mustang...typical simplified Revell of the era w/ squishy tires.

I have that kit in my Mustang collection, sealed but I'll build it. Very cool car at the time and I still like it. Saw that kit for sale $20 at the last toy show I went too.
