    1/12 Maclaren

    Evenin' all,
    I recentley purchased the Italeri 1/12 Maclaren MP4/2C. This is a re-issue of the Protar kit, but has a few upgrades, i.e. better decals and some PE parts, but I found it to be one of the kits I've had to do the most cleaning up and improving of almost all the parts so far. Theres a lot of flash on everything and general fit needs honing to get a decent result. But its coming out OK despite that. I've used a lot of braided hose and connectors to improve the detail, and got some red ignition lead from Spotmodel.
    The chassis is almost finished now , so its on to masking the body.Click image for larger version

    That looks really tidy, not done any 1/12 motors (i have a few Tamiya ones) but the protar bikes I have done all needed a lot of cleaning up like wise with that bit effort they come out nice just like yours is i’ll watch out for the next posts

    Why is common sense not so common?
