Please before download these photos, read the following Legal notice When I contacted Ron Dennis inquiring information about the 4/8, I received a letter from McLaren's solicitor who was threatening me with court action for possible infringement of brand copyright and reproducing a copyrighted product. However once I explained exactly what I did with my models, simply detailing an already licensed product Ron Dennis invited me down to the factory at Woking. Imagine my exquisite delight and at the same time humility standing in the Trophy Room surrounded by all that silverware and the actual cars driven by my idols, Senna, Prost and Lauda, it was a moving experience and then to be left to my own devices with the car that god (Senna) won his last race in (Adelaide '93), as the next season he was going to Williams, come to think about it, it was the last race that McLaren won for about 4 years as well. The MP 4/8 was the model that McLaren used during 1993, and the last to carry out the Ford engine. The active suspensions were rich in hydraulic lines. I think that this photo array will be useful to detail a Tamiya model, using some photoetched set. The name of each photo has a small description about what is showing. Editor note: Thanks Tim for delighting our sight!!
