Spectacular, as usual, the exploded view of this Model Factory Hiro scale kit of the McLaren MP4/4 driven by Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost in 1988, and which allowed Senna to be crowned Formula 1 World Champion for the first time. The model kit is amazing, such as the pre- painted tires with the GoodYear logos, the detailing of the engine and gearbox, as well as the complete exploded view of the rest of the mechanical parts, the decals with some of the carbon patterns on the inside of the wing plates, lots of photo-etched parts... you can't ask for more for something so small!

Additional details for the McLaren Honda MP4/4 car scale model kit:

The McLaren-Honda MP4/4 is one of the most successful Formula One cars of all time. Powered by Honda's RA168E 1.5-litre V6 turbo engine, and driven by Alain Prost and Ayrton Senna, it was used by McLaren in the 1988 season. It was one of the few new single-seaters introduced that season, with most teams, like Ferrari, Lotus, Arrows or Tyrrell using evolved versions of the previous season to focus on the development of new single-seaters for the 1989 season, when the use of turbocharged engines would be prohibited.

Honda thus changed its partner in F1, ceasing to equip Williams and starting to motorize McLaren single-seaters, whose TAG-Porsche engines had become obsolete.

The car was designed by American engineer Steve Nichols, with Gordon Murray, as technical director, in charge of liaising between the drawing office and the production section.

The combination of the MP4/4 chassis with the Honda engine became one of the most dominant Formula One cars ever built, winning all but one race of the 1988 season (the one held at the Monza circuit), as well as all but one of the pole positions (that of the GP held at Silverstone) and, of course, won both titles, with the drivers' title going to Ayrton Senna, with 8 wins to the 7 achieved by his teammate Alain Prost.
