Strombecker made some of the nicest molds, and the McLaren M1B, was one of their nicest, and very much to scale,....it is a tiny little bugger !!

Anyway, it has been sitting in my workroom for eons, and with the forced hometime we are all enduring, I have decided to make it my next build.

Trying to make this..............this one is not mine, unfortunately mine is a little worse for wear..........



Into something like this................so a few bits to be made/added.



I started with the chassis, as I find these the easy part of the job..........a simple single rail chassis with .047 main rails, set for 2mm+ clearance with 19+ mm tyres.

This will be powered by a stock Scaley FF050 motor and will be legal for our early USRRC/CanAm class, although as short and narrow as it is, it will struggle.



I have started the bodywork........removed all bits, opened the vents, (as they should be , they were closed in the original), and added a front diaplane, and a rear spoiler.



Still a lot of clean up to do...........



The car is tiny,....I think I mentioned that,.....luckily the shortest wheelbase setting on my jig was perfect !!




Still miles to go, but, I will post updates......

Stay Safe
