I found out I won the 1972 Sunoco McLaren Jorgenson kit. ;D
It's my first resin kit so I have no idea what to expect.
A couple of questions...
1) Does it come with directions?
2) Paint color?
3) What kind of glue should I use?
4) Anything I should look out for?
Thanks guys,
Gregg

Gregg, found out I won the 1972 Sunoco McLaren Jorgenson kit. It's my first resin kit so I have no idea what to expect. A couple of questions... 1) Does it come with directions? NO 2) Paint color? MCW Sunoco Blue 3) What kind of glue should I use? Super Glue and Epoxy 4) Anything I should look out for? Sand and trim the parts, prime all the resin, putty, fill, wet sand, etc. Heres mine:  |

Another note. Mine was one of Bill's "old kits". Back then he had everything included wheels tires, white metal suspension, engine, everything. On his more recent McLarens I have use an AMT McLaren for all that stuff. I usually cut down the engine mount and epoxy it to the rear and build the suspension traditionally. I also cut off the upper "A" arms and use a pin vise drill holes in it and super glue in guitar string and attach that to the body using pre drilled holes.
Also It help get everything lined up square if you tape or white glue shome sheet plastic to the bottom of the tub before afixing the suspension to get the ride height right and keep everything in place until the exoxy sets up.

Those are great tips, thanks. And your build looks great. |
