Harrod’s McLaren F1 GTR in 1/24

[Peter Roberts]

Wanting to build a 1/24 1995 Harrod’s McLaren F1 GTR. I have decals and parts for this car, but can someone please help me with which kit I should use as the basis for this build?

Fujimi F1GTR short tail is the affordable one. Aoshima only makes the long tail. There are Profil24 and Model Factory Hiro kits which are probably better and have Harrod’s decals in the box, but you’ll have to pay for the privilege. The P24 seems unavailable, the MFH is £300…

best,

M.

I have the MFH Harrod's kit and can recommend it.

Thank you for the heads up guys. Plenty to consider.

 

I’ve seen some criticism of the Fujimi kit - high ride height and wrong windows ??

I built the Fujimi kit a few years ago. It’s a nice build, without any “gotchas.” I wish Calvin’s upgrade kit had been available when I built mine. I’ve used some of his other resin parts and they’re pretty good. Not as crisp as someone like Studio 27, but still very useable. Recommended!
