This is a toy conversion again of a Lucky Toys #3139 a McLaren M19A using parts from a deep spares box and a appreciation of the Coke bottle shape.

This my first version built in the early 90's...

this my second version built a few years back...

this is a photo of all 3 M19s I have built...

the spares box master, his self...

Well, it came out ok...In my elderly age there are many asymmetries in the alignments. I'm still having fun!

From a blob of a toy refined into a scale replica that one could not tell from a proper kit, that is the magic of Patrick. I really like this one because even though I am a sucker for Penske cars, there is just something about McLaren's in papaya orange that just looks right. The springs and plumbing really are great touches.

I have that exact toy in the stash (been waiting there for years) and am glad to see you can do something good with it. Where did you get the driveling from??
