Re: mc laren mp 4/6scale 1/12

Congratulations...you have made a fine model here. Lots of details to be taken in. I do like the attention to detail with the weld seams. The exhaust is also bang on. Well done :D

Re: Searching: Some good pictures of a Jaguar XJR-12 IMSA

Yes, I think you are correct Kars. The hump is too low - it should be more in line with the roof. https://www.racingsportscars.com/photo/1990/Daytona-1990-02-04-061.jpg Let us disregard the Bud Light car - I give you a bump steer :lol: It is a mess searching for this on the web!

Hi Kars. Now that Icon says there is not much difference from the Group C version, the Haynes Group C XJR manual is a good source of info and details. If you dont have access to a copy of the book let me know specific details you need and I will scan any appropriate pics for you.
Cheers. Tim

The new Honda engine for 1988 incorporated these changes which included a new slim line sump arrangement similiar to the Cosworth. This is what allowed Mc...
