Faithful 1/20 McLaren MP4/2 Tribute to the 1984 British Grand Prix

The Aoshima 08189 kit offers a detailed 1/20 scale version of the McLaren MP4/2, the championship car campaigned by Alain Prost and Niki Lauda in 1984. Its period-correct profile reflects a season where the team recorded 12 wins from 16 races.

Construction Highlights and Engine Visibility

The kit emphasises accurate body lines and mechanical detail, featuring a removable engine cover that reveals the V6 twin-turbo layout for display or further painting. Attention to fit and finish will improve realism.

Choice of Driver Liveries

Two decal schemes are provided so you can build either Alain Prost's or Niki Lauda's example. The decals are intended to match historic markings and give an authentic final appearance.

  • Scale: 1/20
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly: Requires glue and painting
  • Decals: Included for two driver options

Is this kit suitable for a first time builder?

The kit is detailed and best tackled by modellers with some experience. Beginners can attempt it but should expect to spend time on small components and finishing.

How are paint and glue handled?

Paints and adhesives are not included. Use plastic model cement and hobby paints suitable for polystyrene to achieve the best results.

Can I show internal detail without damaging the model?

The removable cowl allows internal display. If you plan to remove it frequently, avoid applying glue to the joint so the cowl can be lifted safely.

Where can I find reference photos for finishing?

Historic race photos, period magazines and official archive shots help match colours and details. These references are useful when painting and weathering the model.
