Taking a break from painting it is getting ridiculous. Two bodies this weekend, 12 hours each, and instead of getting better, they are not. So gotta take a break and actually go out to the track and run these cars. I haven't been on a track in 2 years and I haven't been on carpet in almost 4.
Niki Lauda's 1984 World Championship McLaren MP4/2. Of course they sent me the decals of the MP4/5, MP4/5B and MP4/6. So it is NOT powered by Honda, or probably not Shell either. But I got what I got. I used about 4 different decal sheets just to do Lauda's helmet
At least it doesn't look like Scottie Pippen's NIKE's.
Just to be clear these are not F1RCLab decals.

The Road to Hell is Paved with Crappy F1 Bodies
Well it is 99% done. I may or may not add the barge doors. I may or may not add the FGX body accessories. I just don't know. I was so worried about cutting the body, but I did it right. The side pods I kinda goofed on. I really hate side pods. Cutting them, installing them and worst of all putting nice decals on the vicious curves. This was supposed to be my Paved On Road Nats body Labor Day weekend. I don't think its going to do well in Concours. Good news is that it is almost four months away and I can paint another one or two til I get it right. Also I have two "special" bodies on the way from Hong Kong, should be here any day now. Going about as retro as I dare to go with these two. But that is another disaster for another time. Here goes. The 'finished' product. The decals are perfect for the F60 body and wings or any body you can put a shark fin on, I should have but the stripes,bubbles and BWT a little farther back on the pods, but hind sight is 20/20.
