Wow, yet another build I somehow seemed to have missed :O. It's simply beautiful and especially the shots of the bare chassis with all the gadgets and bits and bobs attached to it has the look of the real car. Want to do my 1/8 643 next?
Cheers,
Roman

Re: McLaren MP4/4 "My Biggest Project" 1:8
Wow! That paint is awesome.
How did you get the decals to NOT show any demarcation lines where the clear part of the decals end? Did the clear just cover over and "hide" that so nicely?
Awesome model, enjoy the rest of the build!

How did you get that cowl to look that good? I have this kit and I would love to see any WIP of that process. Your work is stunning. I can't decide whether or not I am bold enough to try what you did with it. Today, not so much.

Absolutely stunning
Re: McLaren MP4/4 "My Biggest Project" 1:8
Hello everybody, this will be last update before finishing this model. At first I would like to say thank you for all the nice comments.
Regarding the WIP of the cowling, there are unfortunately no pictures. But I can say its a pretty nice hustle to get the cowling together and
do a good paintjob. No I know why all the MFH Kits are made of resin.
This update will contain some pictures with new details I added the last weeks. There must be round about 3500 to 4000 parts with all the tiny
screws and rivets and decals. No I must finish the steering wheel, the wheels and some smaller touch ups for a perfect finish. But enough said, here are the pics
I hope you like it.
