FUJIMI:
MP 4/6 Carbon Tub
I have looked at all pictures I can find of the McLaren MP 4 cars. The Cockpit tub looks like it has a linear gold pattern in the Carbon fiber. The best photos I have found are of the MP 4/5. In some photos the tub looks monocromatic but in others it has a distinct pattern. I believe this is from how the light hits the carbon.
'New' Tyrrell from Tamiya
Looks like Tamiya is re-issuing the Tyrrell six wheeler again...
