Last build of 2019 - McLaren BMW 320i - Ertl kit

[rastta]

Final build of the year.  ERTL McLaren BMW 320i.  One of the first races I went to was at Laguna Seca back in 76 or 77 - and saw this car race against the Porsche 935's.  Being the big Porsche fan at the time - I was amazed how well Hobbs did in this car.  This final graphics on this consist of some of the decals from the kit - but primarily Hobbs #2 decals from Indycal.  This kit was warped pretty bad when I got it.  Did my best to straighten it out - but nothing I did could fix the A pillar problems.  Kit had an odd mix of detailed and non-detailed parts, but overall happy with how it turned out.

Thanks.  The picture below was taken by my buddy in high school at Laguna Seca in 76 or 77.  Just between Turn 8 and Turn 9.  I was sitting right next to him.
