The Tamiya 1976 McLaren M23



An already-old kit I got 20 years ago.  Took me a long time to find one for sale, in the back pages of a modeling magazine, as there was no Internet back then.  The decals were old and brittle when I made the kit (likely already 10 years old at the time), they took a lot of soaking in water to come off the backing paper, and they've now become even older, and yellowed with age.  As with all my older builds, there's no clear coat on this.  It's just plain (rattle can spray) Tamiya orange on white, to match the decals - the colors recommended in the original instructions.  The "Marbara" decals are original, too.
