Yea, its missing the Fedex on the side. The first one were peeling and the replacement decal sheet I ordered didnt have the Fedex. The main issue I had was with decals lifting. This build required quite a bit of intricate masking and I kept having issues with tape lifting up the decals no matter how...

This looked like a simple car and reading the instructions, it looked like it would go together pretty easily. Turned out to be a really really tough build. I worked on this for 2 years on/off after multiple mess-up's and re-ordering of factory decals. Was almost ready to abandon the whole build at ...

Hello folks, Worked on this Ebbro Mclaren Honda for about 3 months on and off and this is my second completed F1 scale model. Paint is Tamiya TS40. Even though its debatably the "wrong color", I am more than happy with the outcome and I think its a good representation of Mclaren Predator G...

I'd like to try and use an airbrush for a better finish but I'm unsure of how to mask. They are tiny and...

Thank you all for the tips and pointers. I have since reduced the rake angle of the rear wings. I have also straightened up the front wing end-plates as much as I can by grinding down the endplate slots where the front wing "slots in". This is as parallel to the ground as I can get it with...
