Plan your McLaren P1 build
Before painting, lay out the parts shown in the photos and test-fit them. Check how the body, chassis, interior, and window align, and keep track of which wheel position is front and rear. The listed 10 mm front and 12 mm rear sizes describe the factory fit for this kit; use that reference if comparing replacement wheels.
Decide on the paint and finish before assembly. Prepare the surface, apply suitable primer and color in controlled coats, and allow each coat to dry according to its product instructions. Avoid excess paint on contact edges where components join. Dry-fitting first helps you spot alignment problems before the finish is applied.
Assemble after the finish cures
The prepared components are designed to click together. Once the finish has cured, test-fit the parts again and confirm that they sit securely. The listing says model glue or rubber cement may be used for extra hold. Adhesive is optional; use it only after you are satisfied with the fit and prefer a more permanent closure.
Wheel style, interior color, and window color may differ from the gallery. The listing does not specify additional paint supplies or other extras, so use the photos and current product details to verify what is included. Compare replacement wheel fit against the actual casting rather than assuming that every part for a similar scale will fit.
