Thanks Jonn, much appreciated!
It's my first F1 kit so I just built this OOB to test the water. I think I use MSM decal for the Marlboro livery and they went pretty well.

Album info

In 1989 F1 banned turbocharged engines. Despite this, the McLaren Racing Team continued to dominate the sport.
For the 1990 season, McLaren entered the MP4/5B, an advanced version of the 1989 title-winning MP4/5. This car received extensive refinements to improve internal airflow and overall aerodynamics, which led to the development of a more contoured body.
It was powered by Honda's RA100E 3.5 liter, V10 engine and had a six-speed transmission which was transversely mounted in front of the rear axle.
The 1990 season ended with 1988 World Champion Ayrton Senna reclaiming his World Championship title with 6 GP victories for McLaren.
