About product

McLaren MP4/13 – a Studio27 photo-etched upgrade set, 1:20 (for the Tamiya kit)

Let us say it straight away and plainly: this is not a kit. It is a set of additional parts from Studio27, intended to improve the McLaren MP4/13 plastic kit in 1:20 scale from Tamiya. The basic kit is not in the package and is bought separately. The core of such sets tends to be photo-etched brass sheet – grilles, seat belts, buckles, thin surrounds and other small items that simply cannot be molded in plastic. The exact contents of the package are not stated here.

The real subject

The McLaren MP4/13 is the car of the 1998 season and McLaren's return to the top: Mika Häkkinen took his first world championship title with it and the team also won the constructors' cup. Visually the car is unmistakable for its silver and black West livery, one of the iconic images of Formula 1 in the nineties. Note: the livery is handled by the decals from the basic kit or by separate decal sets – a photo-etched set does not deal with the color scheme, it adds three-dimensional detail.

Why it makes sense

  • Plastic cannot do a real grille or a truly thin edge – a molded grille is only a suggested engraving.
  • Photo-etched sheet matches the thickness of real sheet metal in scale – at an exhibition and in a cabinet that shows at first glance.
  • A Formula 1 car is completely exposed; there is no bodywork to hide anything: you see the belts, the buckles and every wire and edge.

How to work with the set

  • Photo-etched sheet has to be bent – best with an etch bender, at a pinch with a razor blade and tweezers.
  • It is glued with cyanoacrylate glue, not with plastic cement.
  • To seat a photo-etched part it is often necessary to sand the original plastic detail away – the step is irreversible, so think it through in advance.
  • It calls for tweezers, a magnifier and patience. The set is for more experienced modelers.

Who the set is for

  • Owners of the McLaren MP4/13 1:20 kit from Tamiya.
  • Collectors who build Formula 1 cars for a cabinet or for a competition.
  • Fans of the end of the nineties and of Mika Häkkinen.

This is an addition to a kit, not a model. The basic kit, the glue, the paints, the decals and the tools are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

Neither. It is a set of additional parts for the McLaren MP4/13 plastic kit in 1:20 from Tamiya, which you have to have – it is not in the package.

The color scheme of the car is handled by the decals from the basic kit or by separate decal sets. Photo-etched sets usually do not deal with the livery – they add three-dimensional detail. The exact contents of the package are not stated here.

Cyanoacrylate glue. Plastic cement will not bond metal. An etch bender, tweezers and a magnifier come in handy for the work.

The set is intended for more experienced modelers. The parts are small and some of them are seated only after the original plastic detail has been sanded away irreversibly.
