Lobo2me Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Looking for a change of pace from my usual dragster model projects I decided to build a Supercar. Tamiya’s McLaren Senna is incredible. The kit is by far the best engineered, most accurately molded, and complete build I’ve ever attempted. I wish the engine cover and doors opened, but the assembly is far too delicate for me to attempt surgery. But I couldn't resist adding a few aero tweaks and personalize placement of a few decals. Thanks for looking…. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timonator Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 It looks great ! What did you use for seatbelts ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobo2me Posted February 28, 2022 Author Share Posted February 28, 2022 Thanks Tim. Purchased seat belts thru ETSY for about $12. See image below. They came all the way from France in about two weeks. They were a little easier to work with than other PE sets I've tried. I like them. I primed and painted the green vinyl stock Tamiya Brilliant Orange (TS-56) to match the brakes and front spoilers.
