Yes I agree as Senna got pole position, won the race (after stalling on the grid!) and became the world champion there, would also make sense for the Japanese market, but from the aero set up it could also be made as Australia (16th round) or even Portugal (13th round). I think the car remained the same for the final two races apart from the radiator outlet blanking plates being slightly different lengths, which are not shown in the Meng renders. Malc.

The photos above in order top to bottom are taken at:- San Marino 2nd round Monaco 3rd round Silverstone 8th round IE all early season

The early season car was WITH periscope air intakes, the late season did not have them to reduce aero drag. The cars ran with periscope intakes at Brazil, San Marino, Monaco, Mexico, Canada, USA, France and Silverstone. It was only at Hockenheim that they were moved inside the car where separate air is taken through the shared radiator duct to the turbo then round the intercooler to the engine. All races following are WITHOUT the periscopes. The rear wing shown in the Meng renders is representative of Brazil and San Marino, so medium downforce. Detroit and Monaco are high downforce, San Marino, Silverstone and Monza are low downforce. At Motorsport images you can see the car progresssion and race setups. https://www.motorsportimages.com/ Just type 1988, the race (e.g. France) and McLaren in the search box. Malc.

The Building of the Mew Gull is FINISHED - Aerotech/Marsh Models 1:32

I am watching with interest because I have one of these to do - Old Warden is my favourite museum. I use superglue and baking powder because its quick. I mainly build resin F1 kits so use it a lot! I apply the powder to the area to be filled then with a micro dropper add the superglue to the powder which wicks through the powder. You can use masking tape to form a dam if filling/extending an edge or making a curved shape for example. (Fill against the sticky side). I also use milliput on resin that needs more than just a skim. I rough up the resin first with 60 grit to provide a key. Malc.- 78 replies

How did you make the wings? Are they from another kit?
-
Fantastic, a 1/32 Sopwith Schneider has long been on my list of models to make, so I will be watching with interest and taking notes! For the rear turtle deck covering, did you score the back of the card to simulate the stringers? How did you make the wings for the Schneider? Did you rework parts from another kit? Malc.

Hi Torben, Interesting debate, looking through my stuff (got more than I remembered.....!) I found an original paper copy of the S5 3 view in a book of collected drawings called 'Aircraft Archive - famous racing and aerobatic planes', so took a slightly sharper picture of the sections you show above to try and help the debate About the holes in my previous photo (!), it appears that the outer holes are surrounded by fixings indicating they are inspection hatches, the inner one has a 'duct' appearing out of it, which indicates it is permanently open - what puzzles me is the direction if the slash cut on the duct - it faces forward, indicating its an intake not an exhaust? I don't understand this as it would be very vulnerable to ingesting sea water....? Theories welcome!! Malc. Hgggnnn, photo link didn't work, let's try again - if you click the thumbnail it takes you to a full res pic.
