What are you using for McClaren Red?

Stéphane Jayet
@michael, I used tamyia fluorescent red spray, ts36

Rod -
I will be paying attention to this one 🙂 I just bought one of these and a bunch of top studio details.

I hate to bring the bad news but; most likely, that TS36, at some point will crack. I have done 5 or 6 Macs with the 36 and all have some degree of cracking. For the moment, it looks lovely though.

@bossy, I hope it will not materialize! I built the 1/12 dozens of years ago and still no problem with the paint. Let's cross fingers it will be the same this time.

Looks great, love the classic Maccas! For those of you who don't want the TS36 spray, Mr Hobby #171 Fluorescent Red is a perfect match for the red too!

I used Gaia 103 on my last Mac. While I hate airbrushing, I did find it a LOT easier to control than the fire extinguisher Tamiya uses. And Stephane, I also have my fingers crossed that yours doesn't crack. It rather broke my heart to discover the one then check them all and find some degree of cracking : (

Congratulations on a butiful build
