McLaren MP4/8 - Tamiya -1/20
Finally finished this one, almost 7 years after starting it This is of course the Mclaren Ford MP4/8 that Ayrton Senna drove at Donington in 1993 . I only changed a couple of things from the original; most notable are of course the lovely rain tyres from Icon Automotive! I also replaced the barge boards with ones from the PE set by Studio27. The body was airbrushed, no decals were used for the orange. As the original decals were too far gone I got a replacement set from Tabu for the sponsors.
Enjoy the pictures!
Enjoy the pictures!

That is gorgeous! By far one of my most favorite F1 cars. How did you do the inner end-plates of the wings? The edges are super clean and look absolutely perfect. Spectacular!

Looks awesome with the rains. Super clean build and the color laid down so much nicer than decals.
