Plastic Build of the Tamiya McLaren Senna Spider 1/24 scale model PT1

I decided to modify the Tamiya McLaren Senna scale model kit to a unique convertible roadster/spider look, which turned out not what I expected since it was all improvised, but good enough to make a video of it. I will be showing you how I was able to modify the engine cover, roof scoop, windows, exhaust pipes and tried to cover the most visible panels with carbon fiber decals to simulate the real car.
Thank you to all that watched this video, and do not forget to take a look at part 2 of this plastic model car kit, in which I will be covering all the interior parts.

Great decal application. Carbon fiber looks awesome.

Thank you so much for the kind words man! I appreciate you loving the video, makes me so happy! 🥰

[@BOABModels]

Outstanding! I particularly like how you put the carbon fibre decals over those louvres at the back. Where did you get the idea to use a dehydrator?

[@ScaleVehicles]

Hi Thomas! When I bought the Splash clear I was reading the description of the seller and said “1hr touch ready in a Dehydrator”. Quickly I reacted “wait a minute! I need this now!.

[@hugotogner168]

It's the first time I've seen a pattern symmetrical on both sides.

[@ScaleVehicles]

Worth the extra time to make it right for the end results, right? Thank you ☺️

[@garydeandeery]

Amazing work I’m doing mine hope to get half as good as yours

[@ScaleVehicles]

Thank you sir! Just need the right tools. I sure you could make it better 🙌🏼

Hello! Nice modification! I am building standard senna, and I want to know as a beginner, did you used sand paper on body parts after applying clear coat but before polishing? Because I tried to polish body with sandpapering clear coat and using polish, but after this procedure I got scratches on body ;( And another question, how many coats of paint you did on body parts? Thank you and good luck in further builds!

[@ScaleVehicles]

Thank you for the nice comment!. The steps I used for sanding the clear coat surface are: using wet sanding from 4,000 grid to 12,000, and then polishing. This yellow paint went so smooth that I saw unnecessary to wet sanding this time, and went straight to polishing, but the key is to have a very smooth surface prior to primer, if the primer is not smooth I usually sand it with a 1,500 to 2,500 sand paper and then lay down the paint. I’m unsure how many paint coat I used. Believe it was 2 coats with the spray (not airbrush).

[@ScaleVehicles]

Than you! Yes! Future builds will be coming to the channel, mainly F1 cars. Just taking a break for the moment, but will be resuming the work by the end of this month. Probably for the beginning of next month will be finishing the one I’m working on now.

[@mr_racer]

Nice job my friend 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@ScaleVehicles]

Thank you!

[@michaelmic6909]

May i know whats the dehydrator for in 11:30（ i am beginner ） 😊🙏🏻？

[@ScaleVehicles]

Welcome to this beautiful hobby. Instead of leaving parts dry for a day or 2, I use the dehydrator for one hour and paint dries very quick
