Did you know any of the "Did you know..." facts? What do you think of this new feature?

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

I liked it.

[@BOABModels]

@@THROTTLEPOWER thanks! Just thinking of my next USP! 😂

[@styrenehelp]

It's a nice touch having the 'Did You Knows'

[@BOABModels]

Thanks! I like to mention the history but I often don't have enough time - the captions really help.

[@BarricaG]

Good job on the bodywork and painting. The pop up cards are a nice extra

[@BOABModels]

Thank you Gustavo! I'm glad you like it! 👍

[@YOOPDLRC]

Beautiful 👍👍👍

[@BOABModels]

Thank you very much! 😁

[@styrenehelp]

Great paint job Thomas

[@BOABModels]

Thanks a lot, Clive! 👍

[@ScaleAutoGarage]

I like the new feature. Fun. This is looking amazing. Going to be a beautiful piece of work when you are finished.

[@BOABModels]

Thanks a lot! I'd seen captions like that in different type videos and it seemed like an idea I could steal! 😂 Thanks also! Pretty happy so far.

[@joerichardson9499]

The masking had to be a real bear to get symmetrical. Very nice work! I liked the "Did you know" facts.

[@BOABModels]

Thanks Joe! Yeah, I cut out all the times I put it down and then took it back up again! I actually saw a really good idea since then where you put a thin strip of tape down the centre of the car to help. Something for the next time I guess! 😂

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Looking VERY VERY nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@BOABModels]

Thank you Tim. 😁 Very nervous masking!

[@achillesvortex]

Amazing as always Thomas!!!!! With the necessary background history info. Just loved it 🙂🙂🙂.

[@BOABModels]

Thank you Achillefs! I'm glad the history went well. I will do it again next time! 👍

[@edak482]

Hi Thomas, nice build. Painting the red looks so much better then using the decals. Proficiat. Do like the 'Did you know' facts.

[@BOABModels]

Thanks Ed, I totally agree about the paint. Also, my decals were destroyed so I'm glad I didn't use them!😂 I'm glad you like the facts! Please share some of your own with me too! 👍

[@PabloModelkits]

Building a F1 car is always a big challenge and you did a great job. Thanks for sharing.

[@BOABModels]

Thank you, Pablo. My next video will be the engine!

[@PabloModelkits]

@@BOABModels ok I will be ready in the premier with the fulfilled popcorn cube

Coming along really well. Great job on the decals.

[@BOABModels]

Thank you very much Steve. I was worried about doing the paint on this one.

[@d3scalemodels333]

Looking really nice Thomas, really enjoying this build.

[@BOABModels]

Thanks for saying and watching my build! 👍 😁

[@ScaleMotor]

Love it mate! This livery is a relatively simple looking one, yet it's so effective. Easily one of my favourites!

[@BOABModels]

Thanks, Luke. Yeah, to a lot of people it is their favourite F1 livery hands down. I'd never realised the red was so bright before due to low quality photos and TV footage I suppose!

[@thescalemodelcarguychannel8681]

Thomas it's really looking good brother!!

[@BOABModels]

Thanks Shawn! The next video will be the engine - it's taking ages!

[@TheNoisyNinja72]

Looks good Thomas! Before priming the body, do you sand it?

[@BOABModels]

Thanks, Matt. Only the mould lines or other places. I usually find the Tamiya primer gives a good enough surface.

[@MrDavidfball]

MP4 in the name was not Malboro but Mclaren project 4, everything else you state was spot on

[@BOABModels]

Actually I think it's both. If you look back, it first stood for Marlboro but was later changed to McLaren. Thanks for watching

[@MrDavidfball]

@@BOABModels M was for Mclaren and was used from the start by Bruce Mclaren for his race cars, when Ron Dennis the owner of the business Project 4 took over he changed it to MP4 meaning Mclaren-Project 4. if it had stood for Marlboro then the MP would have been dropped in the years where mclaren were sponsored by West and after tobacco sponsorship was banned

[@robertwills5757]

That would be amazing if you still have them. How much do you want for them? Many thanks. Rob

[@BOABModels]

Send me an email - address is in the description - and we can discuss it. Let me know where you live too so I can look into postage.

[@robertwills5757]

Hi could you tell me where you got the extra end plates from? I recently bought the same mp4/4 kit on eBay it was listed as used & 1 front & rear wing end plates are missing. I would much appreciate it.

[@BOABModels]

So I used photo etch ones from the Perfect parts aftermarket set so I actually didn't use the kit ones at all. I can check if I still have them if you like
