1/25 1970 McLaren M15 indy car


Recommended Posts

This is my WIP of the Lance Sellers resin kit of the M15 indy car. The M15 was McLaren's first attempt at an indy racer, based on the tech from the M8 Can-Am cars and powered by a turbo charged Offenhauser 4cyl engine. For a fuller description see http://www.bruce-mclaren.com/the-cars/indy-500/m15/gallery/1.html.

This is the car I am modeling.

This was actually started last week, and I forgot to take any pics of the resin parts as they came. Here is how she stands as of tonight.
