Ok this is how it's done 1mm plastic card cut to a lenght of 86mm X 20mm wide Mark out the lengths as shown. Longest is the middle sandwiched beetween the other 4 as shown. Wait for glue to dry for at least a few hours then sand flat one side. Use this flat edge as your template of the "aero" effect ( I'll show these later) Start to file down the leading edges and use the original Top Camera pod as a guide so to get the right form.. Bottom pic is with carbon decal on top..needs bottom decal then coat of lacquer Warthog attached the following image(s):

I have milliput but it tends to crumble too much. Squadron has a bonding agent that sticks to the plastic like rocking horse stuff without melting the plastic too much..

Warthog - where do you get your materials from? I've been looking on hiroboy but it always seems to be sold out! Apologies for constantly asking Q's! The cam housing looks brilliant by the way. Top work! Building the McLaren MP4-23

Yes I agree with them, thanks a lot for your contributions mate. I have a quick questions, your finished model, well unpainted air box cam housing, how did you get it so smooth? Did you use the squadron to make it smooth? Thanks again mate! Building the McLaren MP4-23

Thanks again mate! I use needle files and a material called "MicroMesh" it's like sand paper but cloth so its flexible.. been using it for over 10 years and never wears out. Use with water like "wet and Dry" sandpaper... Final pic is 1/2mm plastic card wrapped around Camera box to give "raised detail.. This will then be primmed and then carbon fibre added then Lacquered.. once the main airbox part arrives then the other side will be filled etc to fit.. I'll do this by adding a few pins and then 2 holes drilled into the side to attach.. I'll add more as ai go along and I hope you all don't mind me adding these to this thread? Spencer

No Spencer, I'm completely happy with that. I'll have a look into that, like I've said before I havnt started it at all yet so when I do I'll have all this to refer to. You've obviously picked up some good tips and tricks! Thanks again for sharing. Building the McLaren MP4-23

UPDATE:......Just in case anyone is thinking of doing this you might think of waiting as it is included in the build at a later stage... good fun making it though
