Good job on this tricky one, but the ridehight on the front is a bit high. There has to be done some changings on the lower wishbone and the upper one to correct the ridehight, that`s why i put mine aside for the first cause it`s a hugh effort to create these parts new. Gavrob and Ewestra once made it, realy complex work! How about the fitting of the rear tyres to the kit rims, did they fit?
Overall a nice job!
Take a stand!

Fantastic. I wish Tamiya would have offered this version in 1/12 and 1/20, as it did with the Wolf, P34, and Lotus 78.

Great work, Dave. The McLaren is really well done. I like the Rush shot at the end, forever fighting for track space on your shelf! LOL

It might be the picture. I worked on the ride height to get it low and level. The rear tires fit fine.
