Quality and level of detail

Thunderslot is a recognised brand in the slot world for the precision of its bodies and the fidelity of its reproductions. The body kit comes in the usual neutral white finish found in the brand's spare parts, with the same geometry and fit as the original body of the model. It fits directly onto the corresponding chassis without the need for modifications.

Customisation: the main appeal of this kit

Having the body in white opens the door to decorate it with the paints and decals of your choice. To prepare the surface and apply colours, brands like Vallejo, Tamiya, or Ammo offer plastic-compatible products that yield excellent results on slot car bodies. If you are going to paint with a brush or airbrush, we recommend applying a primer first and working in thin layers to preserve the detail of the piece.

The McLaren M6 competed in Can Am with several historic liveries, giving you multiple visual references for an authentic decoration: the Gulf orange, private sponsor schemes from the era, or directly a recreation of documented races.

Ideal for…

• Replacing a broken or damaged body on your Thunderslot McLaren M6.
• Customisation and painting projects on slot models.
• Recreating historic Can Am liveries that are not available in factory-decorated versions.
• Collectors looking to complete their model with original parts from the brand.
