What a beautiful looking chassis. Enjoying following your build.

Wow! Beautiful work. I like how all the aftermarket parts work to
Improve an already classic kit.

Very nice; Love the shock arms, cockpit carbon fiber and switch box detail

The MP4/8 is making progress too

So here I focus on the engine

A lot of test fitting, pre drilling and painting, prepping parts separately

So here we have the hub assemblies and engine ready

TV brakes used as are better than the TS ones imho
Used the new Medium CF decals from Kar model for inside of rear body cowl pieces, outside is TS36, aforementioned, with TS-96 overcoat as I got a batch of TS-36 that is too red
TS set used all resin parts to replace Tamiya parts













Further installation of all fittings and hoses per TS instructions
Fittings painted with same anodized paint as on 917/30











Front end to follow, already done

Wiring looms completed and ready to install

Side pods and radiators ready to install

Have had problems getting MSM decals to release from backing after a long soak however

[Sennafan]

Preparing the brakes

Front, and the ducting with KA models CF decals





Working radiators as well, used Tamiya parts with PE then painted



More to come

[Sennafan]

And some more pics

And decals

Brake wiring to be installed

Exhausts to be detail painted

Exzellent work.

I am also looking forward to the wiring harness. While studying the diagrams, that part scared the McLaren out of me! This is beautiful so far.

[Sennafan]

Assembly in process

Decals going on the body and rear wing assembled





This is where it stands, wiring to be added after final assembly

Exhausts ready for detail painting



Here is my workspace as I close these two out
