No disappointments there, Sam :o)
I have one by Chan also, a metallic burnt orange colour (like #038 or #075), which I am extremely pleased with!

No, this pre-dates Volcano Orange by many, many years; McLaren called it "Yquem" and it was only ever applied to the final F1, #075 (#038 was repainted to match Yquem as closely as possible). The colour on the model is only an approximation, as McLaren never made the paint code available.

Chan did 5 or 6 of these several years back; yours, mine, a silver one - and I cannot remember the other colours now (Papaya Orange, black and red, I think...?).
He just recently did an awesome blue one with black GTR wheels and BMW Z1 mirrors for one of the guys here.
I actually have a couple of M.Fabrik F1 kits (AutoBarn), that are destined for Chan :o)

I think so, Sam, and if Chan did base it on a real car, then it probably would be #053 (although to be 100% accurate, it should have a dark grey interior with a pale blue driver's seat).
I only know of four white F1 Road Cars:
#014 was originally Titanium Yellow, but is now white with GTR bodywork.
#031 is white with "McLaren" decals on its sides and a white windscreen banner (Mike has an AutoBarn version of this one in stock at the moment)
#053 is white - like I said, you could possibly claim that this one is your model :o)
#072 used to be black, but is now white.

Hi Jono, you sure do know your Mac's. Thanks for sharing this information. I will check with Chan if mine was based on any particular car.
