This will be less of a build thread and more of a general progress shots
So received this today having waited quite a few weeks
2yrs ago in Japan DeAgostini [those of worldwide partworks fame] unveiled their latest series; a 1/8 scale McLaren MP4-4 driven by Senna to 8 victories in the 1988 series [this was while their MP4/23 Hamilton 2008 world champion 1/8 partworks series was still going] with Kyosho providing the actual model itself. Now back then I thought to myself I just have to have one of those but of course not being japanese and multiple other factors stopped me. WELL! the series has finished and I was able to secure for a good price a complete set including the 2 gifts of the Senna DVD [japanese copy to go w/ my Australian one lol!] and the Senna figure for the car
In addition to the set there were a few other bits and bobs to buy including these
To add just a tiny bit of class to the final product!!
So as one does I got started tonight but even w/ a few hrs work there is plenty left to do - 5issues down and 65 still to go!!!
Be kind guys - my completed to a standard of above 1% build no totals 0 lol!!! But here's hoping I can do this kit justice; especially the price I paid

As they put down their Monogram Kurtis Kraft model they will look at this and say its a UFO!
Still 1/8 - man, that's a big car!!
Nice job and happy to see it done before 5/1.
