Photo request MP4/11 or 11B

Post by bossy122 »

Hello! Come to find out, finding pictures of MP4/11s is fairly difficult. Even in my Schmegelmilch Mclaren book, there arent many and none of what I need to see. So, i'm wondering if anyone has a good pic of the engine cover/rear wing area wher they come together. On Studio 27s kit, they moulded the extending end plate onto the resin body and then have the rest of the end plate as a PE part that meets up with the body part, which leaves a seam between the two and I'm not convinced that is correct. Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks.

Even if you've already found it, here are some nice reference pictures, some without the engine cover, where you can see the connection well. :D

The really interesting picture is: why was David Coulthard wearing one of the Schumachers' helmet at Monaco?

Quite intuitive. Rain, Dave had his visor fogging badly, went to Michael said yes. Other times, even for the two of them. Not sure if it would have been that easy after Spa 98. As a note the fact that there was Marlin on both helmets was quite handy.
