I've chosen to build these for the GB as well as the other builds, as i've not built any F1 cars before, and these look simple enough to try out first before I move on to the larger Revell and Tamiya cars I have in the stash.
Myself and my wife are big F1 fans, and i've been granted permission to display the cars in the living room. The long term plan is to have plenty of builds to show the evoloution of F1 cars throughout the years, and a large display of different Mclaren cars.

Right i'm back with an update. To cut a long story short, i'm now a single full time dad with an 8 month old daughter, so time for modelling is pretty much none existant. I'm trying to do little bits here and there when I get the opportunity.

I can pretty much right off the F-16 and Zebra plane for this GB, but i'll do them at some point. I think in future I wont be commiting to any GBs so that I don't set myself any deadlines.

Anyway the car!

I've started with the Mclaren. It's all painted up and i'm at the stage of applying the decals, which are like paper, really weird! :lol:

I tried posting this yesterday but computer said no.

First one down. I wouldn't recommend these kits. The decals were a nightmare. Anything black fell apart, but the rest were ok, they just wouldn't settle to the surface. The black stripes and the 'Shell's were applied with a marker pen.
