Mclaren M29C

I keep boxing this one then take it out and keep asking myself why I boxed it. Maybe i'll finish this one after all ( or not).

I'm calling it! When it gets to the point where something falls off when trying to add something.....i'm done. There's a bunch of crap that should be amongst the roll bar area, but, this would be modeled after the M29C at Mclaren HQs museum.

If I remeber well, this one was existing with or without front wing. Will you keep it like this ? in any case, great build !

bossy122
Yup, no front wing. Those ground effects cars didn't always need them. In fact, the kit didn't include front wings, which is curious as the box says, "Monaco GP" and Mclaren ran with front wings at that race. .....well, Watson did. Poor Alain Prost had Derek Dalys flying Tyrrell land on him at the first chicane.

cool to have it without any front wing. It is much less common !
At that time there was no Halo, and that could have been extremely dangerous accident when you see him fliyng over

bossy122
No halo, no pit stops and all the engines they could blow through in one weekend. Oddly, I can't recall a car parked on top of another UNTIL the halo came in and Maxy winds up on top of Lewi.

I remember also Alonso flying over Leclerc in 2018 in Spa
