McLaren F1 LM in Papaya Orange |1/18 by UT|
McLaren made just 5 LMs in honor of the GTRs that won at LeMans. I love the paint on her- Papaya Orange- which was Bruce McLaren's racing color.
Excellent model by UT and I am lucky to own one thanks to my childhood friend who got it for me from the US in 2010 after I won it on Ebay.

On to the pictures now gents:

I know the Mclaren is ought to be looking good in the traditional grey/silver colour but, if given an opportunity between this orange one and the other one, would definitely go in for this colour any day. Can't take my eyes of this beauty Guggga. Drooling all over it.
The rims on this model look much more appealing than the one's on the silver car.

Mind telling us where did you procure this beauty from.

And again, one hell of a car with one hell of a colour. Smile

Curiosity, Rollingthunder and Slix: Thanks for the nice comments and the reps Drinks

Scalemodels: Thanks for the nice words Smile
I got both my McLarens 2 years back after winning them on Ebay. At that time both were really rare - this is almost a 11 year old UT model- and the Autoart version wasn't out yet. I was lucky to get them both for a fair bit and more under the going rate back then.

More importantly, I would've never got these and 4 other rare and interesting models, had my childhood friend not agreed to bring them.
In the end, he left his Medical text books behind in the US and carried 6 models back for me Wink Drinks

^^ I must add, he personally hated this model. This was the least favorite of his out of the 6 he got back. So much so, he wanted to leave it behind :S
Long distance ISD calls, lots of cajoling and ass kicking later, I convinced him to get the LM because I knew he was fully capable of leaving her behind!
