I didn't even know that Kyosho did model kits, knew they did RC and die-cast...
this is so cool!! Can you put something in one of the pics for reference, like a pencil or something, just to see the size in relation to something.
I've never seen a 1/8 kit.
Great progress so far and unbelievable CF work, and agree - those exhaust pipes look beautiful.

I'm building it as well along with the 1/8th P34. Look forward to your insight as I plan to do quite a bit of 3D printing etc.

Hello Modelers,
today i want to show you some progress on my project. I followed the discussion about the structure and color about the McLaren with interest. Today i want to show you my solution. The aim was to create a real carbon structure with that shiny reflections from the light. So with light the tub is brown, without its near black. That was my impression as I saw the real McLaren from that era.
here are the pics:
at first i decalled the right carbon fiber
then I brushed the first thin coat of brown metallic and a lot of filters
the result looks like that:
here you can see the effects of different angles from the light falls on the monocoque
I hope you like my interpretation of this issue

I like the effect - and overall this build is awesome. I love the machined look of the engine casting edges and the details you're adding.
