Hi guys,

I'm an avid Modeler, have been since small.

I have purchased the Mclaren and been pottering around with it for about a year. With Postage here, it can get a bit frustrating. I'm on edition 40 and just ordered 41-50, but as usual I'm waiting. In the meantime I have come across this website and I'm very impressed with the quality of Builds from RMI and SennaMentalme, and I sincerely hope my car turns out as good as yours have.

I am going to strip what I have build so far and see where I can get carbon decals and have a look around at the original car. Once I have gotten the Carbon Fiber, I will start posting the pics.

Hi Cosworth,
Welcome to the forum. It's great to see another Jo'burg resident having a go at this project.BigGrin I've been using the subscription service to get my parts and, but for a few minor delays, it's worked well. Looking forward to seeing some pictures of your build.
Cheers
Malc.

Hi Malc,
I finally got my CarbonFibre sheets. Just a quick question. Decal sol, what does one use here that works, and where can I get?

Cheers

Paolo.

Hi Paolo. Glad to hear that the build is progressing. I actually use the Microset and Microsol products which I got via the internet direct from the states. I've since found that they can be got in SA from http://www.mdfmodels.co....hing-materials?start=11 . MDF models have a great range of stuff and I've used them before with no problems. Postage adds a little to the cost but these products really work.

I look forward to seeing some pictures of your build.
Malc.
