    The Mclaren Racer is a great product. While it is challenging to assemble it gives you great satisfaction when completed. It helps to keep my mind sharp.

    Quality detailed replica of MCL39

    I have build multiple 1/8 model cars and this is my 3rd F1 car. The attention to replicating price detail is exquisite. I enjoyed this built thoroughly and what is interesting is the dimensions are slightly different to Lego f1 cars released last year. When you put this car next to the Lego McLaren 42141 you can see how much the designs have advanced. Very nice Lego! I found the side pods a little tricky, but patience persists….. and the removable engine cover makes me so happy. A lot of people do not enjoy stickers, I am agnostic on this point but if I could offer one piece of advice it would be to build the front wing entirely and then apply the stickers and the same with the engine cover. Loved this. Heading for a Mercedes next!

    Great Build & F1 Replica

    This is by far my favorite F1 car. The details are right on and this one looks the most like a true F1 car. The only reason I didn't give all categories a 5 is because the technic pieces are challenging. However the final product is well worth it.

    Review requested too soon after receipt.

    It is really annoying to get a review request 2 days after receipt of kit. It is a Birthday present and Birthday, as you know, is shortly. Just bad marketing and digital comms policy. Love Lego but this really annoys me

    Complicated and exciting

    Halfway through this build the colourful and complicated design is shining through and the machine is taking shape. Unfortunately one or two small peices are missing from the first few bags and later bags must be explored for replacements to allow the build to continue

    Addictive to build and spectacular to look at

    This F1 car is very realistic and a pleasure to build - I'm fairly slow & methodical and it took me a full day to construct, but building it is very fun. There are several "ah-ha!" moments where things connect that you didn't expect, like when the steering mechanism finally comes together. The car is large (table is 2.5 ft across, for scale) and comes together beautifully. The working suspension and pistons that move in the engine when you roll the car are cherries on top. Thanks Lego for this hobby - it takes my mind off of work and helps my brain focus.

    Good build

    In the process of building the new MaClaren F1 car. I have been using the Lego Build app. and find it helps greatly by being able to turn diagrams around for various views. Really recommend that application.

    Missing parts

    Had a couple of missing parts for this lego. Finished Lego did not turn out right due to the missing parts.
