ffreak Posted August 8, 2015 Posted August 8, 2015 Just finished up this Tamiya kit. Lots of c/f and kevlar decals used. Scratchbuilt the wiring, axles, seatbelt harness. Bare foil and gold foil. Tabu decals for the sponsors. Tamiya paints and clears. Heat stained headers. Had fun pushing myself on this one.
bbowser Posted August 9, 2015 Posted August 9, 2015 That is sweet! Great job on the decaling, that carbon fiber couldn't have been easy. Very convincing replica.
935k3 Posted August 9, 2015 Posted August 9, 2015 (edited) Awesome job. Is that the Fujimi kit? Word of warning that TS-36 has problems with cracking. Mine did on the MP4/& long after it was built. I hope yours is OK. I will not use it again. Edited August 9, 2015 by 935k3

I hope yours is OK. I will not use it again.This is the Tamiya kit. I've built several McLaren's with this paint and only had 1 give me a problem. But that was of my doing for getting it too heavy and it ran. I've learned to keep this paint flowing slowly in light coats and one final wet coat to let it flow out. Never had a problem with it cracking out of the many my son and I have both sprayed. We always warm the cans before spraying and it helps.
Nacho Z Posted August 9, 2015 Posted August 9, 2015 That is an absolutely gorgeous model, Danny! Nice job with the paint and decals.
om617 Posted August 9, 2015 Posted August 9, 2015 Looks great. Back when F1 had proper engines and the noise was amazing. Good looking engine.

I plan on getting some better shots of it on a different color base soon. These were just a quick shot as soon as I was finished with it. I'll post them when I get them done.
Twokidsnosleep Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 Cool, you did a marvellous job on this. Like to see the other pics too
Sixties Sam Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 Great build! The blued headers are a great touch of realism. Nice work!Sam
