Tamiya McLaren Senna

[Jhedir6]

Quick unboxing photos of the new McLaren Senna from Tamiya.  In a word.....A-maz-ing..... the kit looks stunning  and not your normal car kit. Just a quick flip through the instructions shows that this will be a challenging kit. This will be one of those kits where following the instructions is going to be fairly important. I highly recommend spending a lot of time reading the instructions ( I didn't photo the "book" but there are 50 steps on this one) as nothing goes together like a normal car kit. This is going to be fun.

In no particular order, 

Chassis components and some external trim parts.

Interior tub and some more chassis bits.

Suspension, exhaust, engine, brakes, wheels and more.

Body panels.

Some more body panels and interior parts.

Monocoque chassis

Clear parts.....as usual with Tamiya, probably the nicest, clearest "glass" out there.

I didn't take any pics of the the decals (there's very few) or the tires as I left them at home by mistake.

I also did not take any pics of the instruction booklet as its way too long, but it's typical Tamiya, beautifully drawn and very detailed. 

Now to get to work and see what is what in this thing. More later tonight I hope.

I’ve got 2 on order. I’m looking forward to building this more than anything else. I wonder what Tamiya will do next?

I'm lusting after this one, totally illogical to get it (have "too many" other kits), so will watch this WIP!

Nice kit, but WOW thats a lot of separate body panels. Thats going to be some serious painting.
