Just finished this one, 1998 Mclaren MP4/13. I liked the presentation car livery and it's not often you get to build an orange car..and I really didn't want the head ache of the actual livery...

McLaren MP4-13 Mercedes - Chassis: MP4-13A-06 - Entrant: McLaren Racing Ltd - 2019 Chantilly Arts & EleganceDavid Coulthard and Mika Hakkinen drove this to much success in 1998 winning the constructor's title for McLaren for the first time in 7 years.

Here they are with the presentation car

r/formula1 - Mika Hakkinen and David Coulthard with the 1998 double championship-winning MP4/13 in its papaya pre-season testing livery.

So anyways on to the build

Paint is Craftsmart from Micheals custom mixed, thinned and airbrushed..clear coat is airbrushed Pledge (Future) 3 coats. The "carbon fibre is just gloss black with a dusting of gold sprayed very lightly into the spray booth not at the part...lol

Mostly out of box except for a few extra wires and an additional rear wing element.

Fun build, no headaches.

Thanks for checking it out...Cheers

Excellent build!  Neat idea for the CF, I'll have to try that.  I'm glad McLaren has gone back to orange cars, any other color for them seems wrong!

Nice build Bruce. Tamiya always comes to the rescue when we need to refresh after a complicated build. I love the finish you applied (nice gloss but not show car glossy) and the way you scuffed the tires.
