1/20 Tamiya McLaren MP4/7 Honda

Just getting started on this one. Ayrton Senna's mount. I picked it up on ebay and it includes the Marlboro decals.
Sprue shots of this beautiful Tamiya kit!





Nicely detailed engine/transmission




Not a lot done, but I started.



The body is a pretty thick plastic with a fantastic finish. One of those I'd consider just glossing. I'll have to put the optivisor on and look it over in detail but wow.



The kit motor was to plasticy looking so I shot it with Tamiya semigloss black and did a bit of detailing - more to come

I am so envious of you guys that build these and the bikes. Too much fiddle-faddle for my abilities..

Off to a great start!

Man I do love the looks and lines of those racers… pure speed design!

Everyone is getting into cars now! Love to see it, cool kit.

One of the best race cars ever built with the GOAT behind the steering wheel.
You have my attention, bro!!!

This is interesting and quite a rare kit with the Marlboro decals! Bring it on!

I'm sure. Of course we can't have those decals because that would make us all start smoking.
Hmm. Maybe I'll tell my wife I can't do laundry because I really want to eat the pods

A little more work on the power plant and rear suspension

Great looking metallic sheen on this
