Building Senna's MP4/6 Full Build McLaren Fujimi 1/20 F1 Scale Model

Here is a full build compilation of the Fujimi McLaren MP4/6 1/20 scale model kit as driven by Ayrton Senna in the 1991 San Marino GP. If you'd like to watch the longer videos:

A few things to note:
1.) This Fujimi kit is known for having a bad fit. I had sanded the inside of the engine cover to create space, but neglected the monocoque which should have also been sanded to allow room for the added wiring. The end result is the cover did not close completely so I decided to display the car with the cowl off.
2.) The front suspension sits quite high and requires modification to lower the car to a normal ride height. I have detailed the steps in a recent post.
3.) My camera had trouble picking up the true appearance of the fluorescent red. It's a bit darker and more red in person, however it looks brighter and more orange in the video.
4.) I recently got a new fan for my spray booth which is 20dB quieter and will no longer have that loud drone during painting clips.

Ayrton was dedicated to his craft as you are to yours. Thank you for honouring him this way.

[itz.shu.]

He is a man of focus, commitment, and sheer f*cking will

[lonl]

No music, no pointless jibber jabber, just the best modelling skills ever on display. Fantastic video sir.

[timothydavey]

Ron Dennis would love this precision. Outstanding job.

[dogsgobooom]

Stunning. I Nearly died when you built the seatbelts.

[padprtasrt]

I think it’s easier to build the real F1 over this. Excellent work.

[whoisa_aron]

I was like ooh cool maybe I could build this as well then he pulled out the paint gun

[mellowmike]

When ever I see you do this and then go back to my current model I'm working on I feel like a chimp with a paint brush

[bravo]

As brazilian, it makes me so proud. I mean, Senna is one the most memorable people for us and I feel so good when he has a huge recognize and respect out of here.

[grande]

This thing looks soo realistic that I was actually expecting it to start up hahah

[ffcube]

The engine cover not fitting perfectly is a sacrifice that's more than worth it for all the amazing true to life detail you've added. This build really raises the bar, well done.

[LukeReus]

I think this is the first time I watched a whole video of 25 minutes without skipping any part. You sir are a true artist. Thanks for sharing this.

[ClassicRacingResins]

Masterful work! Very inspiring. Your attention to your videography is perfect. Its difficult to model build and think about taking video at the same time.

[alfie]

this is, no joke the best youtube video I have ever watched. Thank you for creating this experience, definitely subscribing!

[Procrastination]

Nowhere on gods green earth have I seen anyone with this level of almost impossible commitment, skill, patience and focus on a model to the point where each and every little fake screw and wire matters, hats off to you!

[jdockii]

I’ve watched this build in pieces. It’s cool to see it all the way through

[gavinplatt]

I get it now. F1 cars are made by giants.

[BladeLife]

Wow, seriously good building skills and the attention to detail that most of us wud let slip. Great model for a great driver

[cloane]

The moment he started adding the body rivets is when this guy turned Ultra Instinct on. So damn cool.

[martaroocha]

Nossa, simplesmente demais. Adoro miniaturas, e essa da fórmula 1, do eterno Senna, show. Parabéns.
