Nope. Thats the F104 shell for the new Mclaren. I'm after the F104w shell for the MP4/6.

Thanks for looking though.

Looks great in the old red and white Marlboro colours. I don't drive quite like Senna though!

All of the retro bodies such as the two McLarens, Lotus 79 and 93T, etc are all limited editions, so there hasn't been any official body sets released. Tamiya are doing the body moulding, front wing, rear wing end plates and stickers separately. You can find all the part numbers here if you want to put it together yourself but if you just want a body, RCMart have them in stock, body, front wing but they don't have the stickers or wing endplates. If you want the full body set, RC Paintlab has put them together with the stickers here.
If you want Senna driving it though, you will need to find the Champions helmet decal set from AMS

Tamiya have released plenty of the old cars the past few years. They have all been limited releases though so some can be hard to find and sourcing body spares can be difficult.

Current list of retro releases are:
84111: Tyrrell P34 Six Wheeler
84122: Lotus Type 79
84124: Wolf WR1 - F104
84191: Team Lotus 99T Honda
84192: McLaren MP4/58 Honda
84193: McLaren MP4/6
84194: Ferrari 643
84263: Tyrrell P34 1977 Monaco GP

Although there is an even bigger list of retro bodies available from Chevron/D-Drive/TRG/Blade

Thanks Terry have ordered one from RC paintlab. just on the look out for some Marlboro decals now. Seems that the US wont allow tobacco branding in their sets.
