Mclaren..............

............. does anyone know if this kit comes with full engine detail?:

Mclaren F1 GTR

The bottom right (3rd) photo in Hiroboy's website suggests it does but I cannot find any other info on the web about it!!

And is the Aoshima version the same kit? and if not, does it have full engine detail?

Aoshima I could see nothing clear in fotos, but the smoothness of the fit of the rear makes me think no engine, but maybe a one piece top visible thru rear window.  The fujimi one does have a one piece engine top, it said at one site.  Finally, tho I saw almost the same fotos used occasionally, I have no idea if Italeri and any Japanese company share some kits.

Hi. This, what I believe to be a prototype photo seems to show some level of detail in there.

Some other specs I found.

Specification - Scale: 1/24
- Construction type: Assembly kit
- Photo-etch parts: Not included
- Decals: Included
- Special feature 1: 1/24 McLaren F1 GTR 1997 Le Mans 24 Hours Gulf #41
- Special feature 2: Unpainted Body (Based in Light Blue Colour)
- Special feature 3: Complete engine detailing
- Special feature 4: Actual Length: 206mm
- Special feature 5: Decals to depict No.41 machines. (Driven by Jean-Marc Gounon, Pierre-Henri Raphanel and Anders Olofsson)

Thanks for your input H.

Got it sorted now.

The Aoshima kit does indeed come with full engine detail. See instructions photos here

And it is available in the livery I like best!! See 1st post.

Got one on order now.

What a beautiful car. I look forward to seeing this one come together.
