Tamiya McLaren MP4/6 Honda 1/12


Recommended Posts

Here's the finished 1/12 McLaren MP4/6. An original kit from 1991 with Marlboro decals from TBD.

The problems is the common rear tires which shrunk and hardened, causing cracks and didn't fit well on the rims. Never could find a replacement.

Very nice build, you can hardly notice the tyres from the pics :) 

I've got a fair few 1/20 to build, but I fancy another 1/12 when I get chance, the detail in them is superb

I did a 1/12 Renault RE20 years ago, but it was well beyond my skill level (or more likely lack of patience then) and I rushed to finish it and didn't do it justice

yes i was a little impatient too and i rushed a little. But for the next 1/12 i will take my time. I hope to buy a Williams FW14b. I like 1/12 a lot!
