    Hello and welcome to BOAB Models - today we'll be building the McLaren TAG-Porsche MP4/3 driven by Alain Prost from the 1987 Formula 1 season. The kit is 1/43 scale from Heller.
    The McLaren MP4/3 was the car with which the McLaren team competed in the 1987 Formula One World Championship. The car was designed under the leadership of long-time McLaren engineer Steve Nichols, in collaboration with Neil Oatley, Gordon Kimball, Tim Wright and Bob Bell. It was also the last McLaren car to be powered by the TAG-Porsche turbo engine that had been introduced in 1983. The car was driven by double World Champion Alain Prost, in his fourth season with the team, and Stefan Johansson, who moved from Ferrari.

      Thanks very much, Richard. You know, I was thinking as I made this that it wouldn't have been so easy to make those changes when it was released in the late '80s.

    Great work! It is not easy to get a nice result in this tiny scale.
    I also like the idea with the diorama. Best of luck with the Williams!

      Thank you, I'd like to try a Tameo kit sometime. They have done quite a few cars which you can't find elsewhere. I hadn't heard of Racing 43

    Nice work! I have built this one myself but I am disappointed in hindsight because I used standard gloss red rather than fluorescent red

    • @BOABModels
      @BOABModels  11 месяцев назад

      Many thanks! Shame about the red but I'm sure it still looks good. I'm not sure you can tell it's dayglow red on most of the old TV footage.
