Lobo2me Posted February 28, 2022 Posted February 28, 2022 Looking for a change of pace from my usual dragster model projects I decided to build a Supercar. Tamiya’s McLaren Senna is incredible. The kit is by far the best engineered, most accurately molded, and complete build I’ve ever attempted. I wish the engine cover and doors opened, but the assembly is far too delicate for me to attempt surgery. But I couldn't resist adding a few aero tweaks and personalize placement of a few decals. Thanks for looking…. 2
Timonator Posted February 28, 2022 Posted February 28, 2022 It looks great ! What did you use for seatbelts ?
Lobo2me Posted February 28, 2022 Author Posted February 28, 2022 Thanks Tim. Purchased seat belts thru ETSY for about $12. See image below. They came all the way from France in about two weeks. They were a little easier to work with than other PE sets I've tried. I like them. I primed and painted the green vinyl stock Tamiya Brilliant Orange (TS-56) to match the brakes and front spoilers.

Roger U Posted February 28, 2022 Posted February 28, 2022 Very nice build and beautiful finish. What paint did you use? I really like that color.
happy grumpy Posted February 28, 2022 Posted February 28, 2022 Outstanding ! Great job on the paint finish. Tamiya produces some really awesome kits. I like the color.
