Lewis Hamilton's 2012 McLaren MP4/27

[curt raitz]

I had a friend send me this model to build for his collection.

It's a 1/20th scale model of the McLaren MP4/27 Lewis Hamilton drove in the 2012 Australian GP produced by Fujimi (GP-43).

He qualified on the pole, but finished in third place.

Body is painted with Mr. Color Super Metallic "Plate Silver Next" SM08, kit decals supply the additional colors.

Typical Fujimi plastic model kit, everything fits superbly!

This is what a front wing with 27 pieces looks like:

only took about 5 hours to build, ooofta!

thanx for looking'

Gorgeous. All that finicky detail serves a purpose in your capable hands. The impeccable fit and finish stands up beautifully to your close up photography.

This build encourages me to finish a few of my f1 builds, I need to finish my mp4-4 I've been puting it off for a while

I am a Hamilton fan and this build is spot on! Great job!

Thanx

It does not have engine detail to speak of, just what you can see through the body.

It is your basic curbside F1 car model.
