Hey Guys,
This is my 1/8 Senna McLaren MP4/4 model I just completed. The model is made by Kyosho and sold through DeAgostini (you may have seen tv commercials for it during the F1 race telecasts). The model is a subscription, which means you get parts for the model over a period of 20 months but I was able to procure all the parts in 14 months from them. I poured over 500+ pictures of the real car and added quite a few extra details on my own to replicate as much as possible.
If you want to see my build diary, it is here on DeAgostini's forum:

Short vid if you want to see the blinking LED light I added:

Special thanks to davidf for the 1/43! 1/43, 1/18, 1/12 and 1/8:
Jim
