Started this, this week. I have a goal of getting this one done by the end of April.

This is the Tamiya McLaren MP 4/4. I will be adding details to it with the Top Studio "Super Detail Kit".

Looking forward to updates.

I love building the Tamiya F1 cars. Have built 2 of the 1/12 scale (2 more to build, including my McLaren). Built about 7 or 8 of the 1/20 scale (6 more to build).

What scale is yours?

Youtube has several vids of building Tamiya models, including a series on the McLaren (pity it is in Japanesse.

F1 starts this weekend in Australia. How far from the Austin track are you?

11 pieces is what it took to build the throttle linkage assembly. I swear I must have lost, and recovered each of those 11 pieces at least 3 times each, because of them popping out of my locking tweezers. I still need to add about 8 PE bolt heads to the intake/Throttle body base.
