Might be worth writing to them when you finish. I met Gordon Murray in a pub once a few years back and he's a really nice chap.

I'll sure contact him...thank for link Kirk 👌 After I finished the macro group, I moved on some missing details on the body and antennas The antenna of “version A” were a little simple: I sawed off the base, added a nut of M 1.4. After screwing the 1.4 m screw, I finally screw the antenna which are different in shape and which have two distinctly colored bands (yellow and blue). The body was missing the 6 Dzus fastener ...... Kyosho supplied them but for inserting the screw to fix the bodyshell .... I understand that I will never “dress” the body…so I worked on fasteners as open when bodyshell is off. I inserted the rivet leaving it protrude, painted in aluminum and then the final coat of black panel I removed the wrong nose decal and finally I put the new decal (decal that was born whole…I divided it between the nose and the shell) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frah2o Posted March 3, 2020 Author Share Posted March 3, 2020 I Finished (in reality I miss the bleeder on the calipers and a decal that will reach me) I Placed the last detail left last: The label with chassis # 2 (the label 26) I was forgetting a important detail..... the weights of the balance. With Plasticard and aluminum tape and a perfect photo of Suzuka, I reproduced them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frah2o Posted March 3, 2020 Author Share Posted March 3, 2020 I modified the display mode of my MP4/4 Under i positioned the bosdyshell with a mirror to see the internal carbon and heatshield. The car is also positioned on lego brick to not deform the tyres I also add another led strips and finally i positioned the last thing: Ayrton's helmet Thanks to everybody in following my built 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xffw45343tg Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Arguably the greatest F1 car ever. Certainly the greatest model of it I've ever seen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Only joking - he must be one of the few engineers in the world with a crowd of dewy-eyed middle aged male fans. No doubt every time he goes for a quiet pint, some idiot like me asks him dumb questions about the F1.) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCH Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 (edited) Frah2o - Beautiful. Fabulous. Awesome. I'd go on but it just becomes a thesaurus. Your work is mind blowing. I only hope when I can get back to my MP4/6 it will look marginally as good. JCH Edited April 19, 2020 by JCH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capri-schorsch Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Wow this was an absolute insane build. This is the reason i felt in love with the idea to get my own one. But these are very hard to find these days when you don't want to pay an insane price. Anyone knows a good source for a new or a build one? Or somebody who is willing to sell his build, don't matter which conditions. That would be great! Regards Christian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
