Your model is looking great. Hope my 1/8 scale Ferrari will look that nice when I start building it.

Re: McLaren MP4/4 "My Biggest Project" 1:8
Hello @all,
the last 6 weeks I worked on the cowling of the McLaren. It was a tough job, because there were 4 parts and have to glued together. The ABS material is a tricky one, because you need special glue. 2K glue doesn't work. After gluing I have to fill it with nearly two tubes of putty. After this the paint job was on the agenda. Painting in 1:8 is completely different from 1:12. Its much more harder but I think my job is ok. After some tips and hints from gpmodels I've ordered some stuff from swisswax. What should I say, it's a kind of magic and here are the results.
I hope you like it and special greetings to my friend gpmodels you contribute a lot to this result.
