    Since I just finished the Tyrrell I decided not to sit idly by and, bearing in mind that I will be away next weekend due to the national anniversary, I grabbed and am slowly preparing the McLaren.

    Nothing special, I just separate the individual pieces of each stage of construction so that when the gluing-painting starts, I don't have to look on the frames, nor do I have to prepare them at that time .

    So , here are the parts for the engine , the clutch in dry-fitting condition , rear suspension and brakes , more engine parts and finally front suspension and some parts from the cockpit .

    No glue , no color . Those will follow next time . As I mention above , my next update will be on Sunday 03/11 .

    Untill then , keep on rockin' and be happy .

    Great entry, Michael @faraomike
    Not sure if Meng has other McLarens, but I assume this is about the MP4/4.
    Looking forward to it.

    Hi to all ! Finally I have something to add here . As you may see , this "beast" goes well , all parts fits toghether nice and tight -sometimes VERY tight- and needs some extra drilling but not something particularly worrying .

    All I have untill now is to play around with colours and some decalling .

    After all , some wash to bring out details but not too much since, as we know, after each race these cars are washed and checked thoroughly and in many cases are untied and retied from the beginning.

    Nothing special to mention for now , I am going back to my bench prepairing something for the next update .
