James Hunt McLaren M23 Dutch GP Winner finished.
After a lot of work my tribute to James Hunt is finaly finished. I wish to thank Mark Oakley for providing me with the great detail pictures of the real deal. Without them I wasn't able to detail the M23 like I have done. Gavrob for is pionering with the MFH Transkit and his very usefull pointers concerning wheelalignment, the lenght of the spacer between gearbox and engine. Very usefull was also the two volumes of the Ford Cosworth DFV speeddetails. If you want to detail your DFV this is the reference you gonna need. Well what can I say of the MFH transkit. Don't get me wrong, it is a wonderfull transkit with a lot of detail. The bodywork is realy great with no fitissue's or whatsever. The instructions are in some points not very clear and you need good reference to figure out where to install some parts. The suspension and alignment is way of, don't know how MFH could make it the way it is. If there is ever a need for dryfitting, this is it. You have to. Otherwise you could find yourself in big trouble. I also want to thank Wim from BestBalsaKits who gave me his exceptional good helmet. I will send you pictures soon Wim. It gives me great pleasure to have you all entertained with this build and a big thankyou goes to all of you following this build. It kept me motivated to bring this build to.......THE END.
