Bring Metal-Grade Detail to the McLaren M23

When you want sharper, truer detail on a 1/20 McLaren M23 1976 build, Tamiya 12640 photo-etched parts are a practical upgrade. The etched metal reproduces small-scale hardware with fidelity, reducing the toy-like finish of plastic. Key items include patterned seat belts and buckles plus detailed brake and radiator pieces to lift the overall appearance of the model.

Which parts should I replace with these photo-etched pieces?

Target small, visible items like seat harnesses, external brake faces and radiator grills where the metal texture will be most noticeable and improve scale realism.

Is extra prep work needed before fitting these parts?

Clean the attachment areas, remove any mould lines and test-fit pieces. Bending tabs and trimming may be necessary to match the kit's mounting points.

Can beginners use photo-etch or is it for advanced builders?

While beginners can learn to work with photo-etch, it helps to have patience and basic precision tools; start with a couple of pieces before tackling the whole set.
