Mclaren MP4-23
by Copramen » Sat May 10, 2014 6:10 pm
Hi guys
So I finally got a few days to work on my macca MP4-23.
Thanks to Toshiba & a dead HDD
all I'm left with, is some iphone photos 
I'm still trying to rescue my data 
This photo is from before I fiddled with the rear suspension.
For some reason it was preventing the engine cowling from sitting properly?!?!
The decals are not perfect
I was out of decal softner, so just "winged" it
I might get a new decal sheet from HLJ if I can be bothered to fix it.
Some places also shows "battlescars" from being roughed up when I moved and being repaired with super-glue
Some more pictures are on my photobucket

Nice work. Came up a treat.
I also like the combination of stash and display shelf. Ingenious!

Thanks Morrigan
My wife calls my display/stash for "cluttering junk" so might have to change it
(she's been offering for a while now, to help "arrange"it

Thanks guys, you are too kind
It's a basic OOB job, with some
marks here and there where parts were broken off.
I managed to break apart the front-wing no less than 3 times so heaps of worts on that now 
I asked Deag for the older issues to replace the front wing assy but they dont have them anymore
so stuck with it
Casper, I ordered the GTR also but cancelled it again
Can't decided between that or the Pocher Lambo
Also as nice as the 1/8 scale is, they dont fit very well with my 1/12 die-cast's and the GTR would have cost as 4 diecast 1/12's
(not to mention the 1/18 diecast )
Available space & $$$$$$ (sadly) is not unlimited, so have to choose
Next up; Deag Lambo Countach
Already up to issue ~30 so looking at starting that soon
