Tamiya McLaren M23 76 1/20 Scale

Post by Bonanza »

Calling this one done. Tamiya McLaren M23 1/20 scale driven by James Hunt. This is pretty much out of the box, used the Tamiya Detail up set as well. Finish paints are by Gravity Spain. Interiors are a mix of Alcad II and Tamiya acrylics. Tobacco decals are from Tabu. Have to say this one gave me some trouble as much as I test fit everything things still didnt go together that well but I managed. Glad she is done.

Great build! Clean work! Love it.

What I noticed and what else could be done is to "screw on" the belts. :D
