Smooth, enjoyable build!
This is a great kit. After doing several Lego-alternative kits, it was nice to do another from the Swedish giant. Things that struck me (and were a delight):– Plastic used: Kits from alternative makers definitely require more effort to assemble, particularly when sliding a long rod through multiple bricks. Removing a mistaken rod or structure is inevitable, and *way* easier with Lego plastic.– Stickers: This kit is a sticker-fest, with 55 required for the final look. Lego stickers are just great... durable and adjustable if not placed perfectly. There are a lot of long-ish stickers in this kit, which can be tricky. I found that leaving about a 1/32" of plastic around each edge made placement easier... I ended up tacking one corner and then pulling the sticker taught to place the other edge, keeping an eye on that 1/32" border to keep them consistent and aligned. If they go down wrong, they can be lifted with something like an Olfa razor knife, raising a corner and then gently pulling them off... no damage seemed to occur (the adhesive is just perfect). The stickers also covered a great number of the holes in body panels, yielding a nice, clean look. Definitely a major part of the fun with this kit!– Tires: Huge and supple rubber. Decals are already printed on the rubber, leaving a great look. Center disks are also pre-painted and awesome.– Design: Just a lot of great forms coming together to create a beautiful, streamlined shape. Suspension is taught (and unusual in that the the springs/shocks are horizontal and incorporated into the body frame. Steering works and is fluid, but the steering yoke isn't very accessible in the end, so you'll see it turn when you move the wheels.Not many negatives to speak of... no missing parts that I could tell (a dozen small bits left over). The biggest negative might be the instructions, which are not always clear and often show parts already in place and not highlighted, which makes them easy to miss. This means you'll likely have to remove and adjust parts, but again the slippery plastic used makes this less of a pain than kits from other makers. The instructions are also kind of crazy in that an entire page might be used to show the placement of one small piece (see photo). And I guess the price might be high (of course), but I got a week of enjoyment so the cost per hour is not too bad. And it truly is a gorgeous build!Highly recommended!

A great model with a fun build experience
A really fun, rewarding build with a great looking model at the end. There are two sheets of stickers and they do require some attention to apply correctly. It's a very sturdy model with several functions - working steering, suspension, transmission and a removable engine cover. There were no missing pieces. Excellent value and highly recommended.

One of the best Lego kits
Awesome build - probably the most fun I have ever had building Lego , for me about 2 weeks 2 hours a night of slow but purposeful progress. Kit was so well laid out and illustrated. Almost sad it’s completed

Great set to add to your collection
A very well designed technic set. I was very impressed with the structural integrity and the level of detail and accuracy as it relates to the actual f1 car. Out of the 3 models (McLaren and Mercedes being the other 2) out there this seems to be the most detailed and advanced.

Fun build and an excellent looking set.
Pre-ordered this set and it was delivered and I started to build almost immediately. It was a fun build and I like this set more than I like the older McLaren set. It looks really good and the details are really nice. I had no issues with missing pieces or other items. Was shipped in a box that perfectly fit the Lego box.

MASSIVE Fun
My first Lego, interesting introduction! Engineering and fit were superb. 1 piece had been substituted for another near-identical piece, turned out not to be an issue. Stickers were intimidating at first .. very aggressive stick, and static "pull" on model pieces can be frustrating at first ... BUT ... they are easy to reposition and move. The total effect is stunning. After about 60 wooden models and mazes this was a different experience - no parts finishing required! It's definitely a different type of challenge. I deducted a star because the instructions, while massive, are often difficult to decipher, and it appears there is an error (the small Ferrari plate cannot fit on the pins as shown). Being a Lego, it's easy to pull apart to correct missteps. Lego didn't exist when I was a kid --- it's fun to go back!

Great kit - will hang it on the wall
This a great kit. has working suspension, steering, clutch, with moving pistons. Will be hanging it on wall, along with a Technics Ford GT40.This is a new kit - minor problem with wrong part shipped; had to hacksaw lengthwise to thin it out
