StanGlover Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Here’s my McLaren 570S from Revell Germany. This kit was more of a challenge than I expected with tons of tiny parts and decals. The fit was pretty good but final assembly was very finicky to get it all to line up correctly. As I read from other builders here, the carbon fiber decals did not want to cooperate so I left them off after the roof decal tore. Also, my kit was missing a headlight lense despite it being a new, sealed kit so I left the other off. RofG is sending me a free replacement part but it will take weeks; I’ll add them on when I get it. Body is the bare molded-in-color plastic with two coats of Future, with Tamiya XF-56 metallic gray as the accent and wheel color. Brake calipers and valve covers are X-12 gold leaf. Interior is flat black Krylon with the bare gray plastic for the seats. Despite the challenges it was a fun build and I’m happy with my results!

khier Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 I primed this kit and put it off after dry test fit. The front wing is a pain to attach properly. I am thinking about scratch building or printing a replacement. Other than that the kit looks nice. Regards Walid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Lombardo Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Very well done for a kit that is extremely difficult to build I have a built "clone" of your build and I have the passenger door in the open position too. Mine has a mostly black interior with orange trim and I added a wing to the rear deck Great job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
