Newsletter 136: «The ground was shaking, the car was flying...»

The race version used at the Jerez circuit of the most beautiful and impressive car that Senna drove in the 80's, the McLaren MP4/4, now reproduced in 1/12 scale by Model Factory Hiro. This model is only recommended for experienced modelers due to its size, the complexity of its assembly, and because it includes a large number of parts in various materials, such as resin, white metal, turned parts, photo-etched parts, vacuum-formed parts, etc. The engine has internal operating parts, such as the crankshaft, pistons, and connecting rods. Includes carbon fiber decals for the different parts of the monocoque. Once assembled, the upper body can be removed to reveal the impressively detailed mechanicals. This reference modifies the rear wing, with a specific plane configuration for low speed circuits. A pleasure for the sight!

The issue No. 34 of the “Racing Pictorial Series by HIRO” is focusing on the machine that Senna was crowned the championship of the season in the second time. The relationship between Senna and Alain Prost had been turned bad since last season, and Prost transferred to Ferrari to have fiercely fights with Senna. Besides the great chassis, the development advantage from the Honda engine both were giving Prost hard times, Prost still won 5 champions. However, Senna won 6 champions and defended the Drivers’ Championship at last. In the Japanese GP, which Senna and Prost collided at the first corner and both retired for this race, is still being remembered by many of the racing fans. Half of this issue is coming from the huge archive of Joe Honda, and the second half will be photos of the real car taken by MFH, the “MP4/5B detail file”. Races included: United States GP, Monaco GP, Mexican GP, French GP, British GP, Hungarian GP, Belgian GP, Italian GP, Portuguese GP, Spanish GP, Japanese GP.
