I spotted this great looking model kit on the local modelspace facebook page. I've subscribed this afternoon, so now the agonising wait for the first issue. Not much to post until then but let's hope that we can get a few SA diaries on this build.

Glad to see they gave you a home, but I do think you need some more McLarens!!!

It must be very tempting Malc, but I think waiting until you have more parts would be the most sensible approach, such as waiting until you have all four brake assemblies or wheels/tyres and then building them all at the same time, otherwise they may have slight differences? Just a thought?
You could of course go ahead and build any assemblies that you have all the parts for if they are not repeated in the build, such as front and rear wings?

Yes, I will wait for more parts to arrive. Possibly more than half of the kit. It is better to do similar parts together ( like roughing the tyres ). It also gives me chance to look at the great extra details that you other builders are adding

A wise decision Malc and I'm sure your finished model will be all the better for it?!

4th Delivery....!! .....but hang on this is pack 8 . Oh well I'm sure the rest will get here some time. This certainly justifies waiting for a lot of the parts before starting.RM1 attached the following image(s):

Having seen some of the great detailing stuff on the UK forum I've gone for some extra decals and PE hose clamps. Looking forward to starting this later in the year. Malc.RM1 attached the following image(s):

Some nice looking extras there Malc, I recognise those PE clamps as the ones I was going to use on my Lambo, they are very nice although a bit fiddly. Unfortunately the misses threw them away accidently

Yes...they look very fiddely. I hope my old eyes and fingers are up to it..

Great to see that there's someone else in Jozzie doing this build. I'm lucky that the boxes have been ok in the post so far. Are you going to be putting a build diary up on the Forum? Cheers, Malc.
