Looking for any parts for the 1/20 MPC McLaren M8B or M8D. If you have complete built or unbuilt kits I might also be interested.
Thanks

Oh man! I wish I still had mine, what a phenomenal kit! I had one when they were reissued around 1980 and I spent a good three months working on it. Painted it red and found some Auto World decals to make kind of a fantasy Can-Am car, like what Oscar would have ran if we all bought more stuff from him! I think Gasoline Alley in Seattle may have them, but be careful with them because I've ordered kits from them Parts both damaged and missing.

The M8D kit can be found for small money on eBay (around $20) but the M8B is much more difficult ($75 for a rough example).

It would be great if someone resin cast the few differing parts to convert the D to the B...

Tamiya re-issued the M8A in 1/18th; it needs some work, but the most notable problem, the wheels and tires, can be fixed with a GMP McLaren 1/18th wheel and tire set. Easily found and affordable (~$20).
