Building Tamiya 1/24 McLaren Senna scale model car Part 2/2. Full build step by step KIT MOD ASMR

This project is to make the Tamiya's newly released McLaren Senna kit.
It's one of those super kits by Tamiya with tons of parts and requires higher level of skills to make it.
I have done this project in two parts; part 1 is the test fitting, part 2 is the complete building.
I decided to do the test fitting first, because with this kit, all of the body panels are separate pieces so the fitment can be a problem
and it will be difficult to fix after all the body panels are painted.
Part 2 took me much longer time than I expected.
One of the high of this build was open/close front center cover.
On the real Senna, this cover houses fluid reservoir caps and battery tender plug.
This is pretty easy modification but the result was pretty cool.
Something that I tried new was Baby Powder technique for the alcantara interior.
I learned this new technique from fellow model builders from Instagram and wanted to try it for the Senna's interior.
In the past, I did alcantara finish by using airbrush with flat paints spraying at low pressure.
But this Baby Powder technique is much easier and very consistent and the result was very good.
There are some flaws with the kit, all the grills are blocked, rear brake lights don't fit, rear suspension camber is bad and it's very difficult to fit the body panels perfectly line up.
But overall, this Tamiya Senna kit is a excellent kit with tons of great details.
I have a Instagram account where I post building processes so come check it out please.
