Re: McLarens MP4/3 and 4/3B
Very nice, what tamiya parts did you use, I've got an S27 MP4/3 to build sometime. Be interesting to know any issues. Love the look of the 3, especially the wide nose. Congrats on your builds.

Re: McLarens MP4/3 and 4/3B
Thank you very much my friends!!!
Daveyman, these are transkits, so is all Tamiya except the body, floor, wings, and some small cockpit/gearbox parts. I believe Hobbysearch has the transkit and the digitalized instructions at their website. I found no problems with this work, but of course they are resin kits, not perfect as the Tamiya/Hasegawa plastic ones.
Yes Vekkuli, the "B" is the chassis used to test the Honda engine for the 1988 season.
Cheers,
MT

That's a fantastic collection. I'll have a proper look at my MP4/3, see what I've got.
