Well after 23 months and more bottles of Chrome than I care to mention, I'm happy to say that the McLaren is nearly complete... All I have to do is add the JW Decals to the rear views and the Hamilton ones to the side and she is done. I have had a lot of joy building this one and learnt a lot from doing so and all I can say is I will enjoy building many more.. Fingers crossed we are lucky to see Senna's McLaren here sometime soon as I can't wait to get my hands on that one.. A big congratulations must go to Kyosho and DeAgostini for giving me/us the opportunity to build this fantastic model and Tomick for Showing the less experienced step by step in how it's done, for being stuck in the middle when debates get heated and keeping his cool. My hat off to you Sir  Well thats it from me on this Topic but you will see me around with many more to do in other Forums, so a big thank you for all your support and kind words during these past 23 months and enjoy the pictures Spencer Warthog attached the following image(s):

Hi 47404 and thanks for you comment The plaque I made myself using the Decal that comes with the main body from Art'ifice Have a gander through my build and you will see some pictures of the Decal sheet with it on. I used 1mm evergreen plasticard for the base and then cut the Acrylic from an old Ipod Touch case. I then sandwiched the Decal (still on backing paper) in between and added a few screws to finish it off.. I'll add a pic soon to show Spence

Hi Spence,
Stunnig model! It's an inspiration for my build.
I'm still waiting for some parts of Mac to be delivered from UK to Poland :) and for F'arteciece decals.
As far as I can see, it's just one of your Macs. Am I right?
The second one will have more details, such as front wing mounting holes on the nose's teeths.
Thank you for inspiration and for tips :).
