This is a scale model kit to be assembled by an adult; it includes all the parts as indicated but it does not include glue or paints, which can also be purchased separately at SpotModel!.
Limited time re-edition of this fantastic and detailed kit where various materials are combined, including white metal, turned metal parts, photo-etched parts, rubber tires and decal sheets. The rims are made of high-quality turned aluminium, and the tires are printed with GoodYear logos. The body cover can be removed once the model is assembled, allowing a full view of the detailed interior and mechanical parts, with its fantastic Ford HB engine. This reference recreates the version used by McLaren in the first part of the season at the Brazilian and European Grand Prix, where Ayrton Senna won victories in the rain. The kit includes the rain tires. And if you want to have the best references to detail your model, nothing better than to get the JOE HONDA's publication about the 1993 McLaren MP4/8.

Additional details for the McLaren Ford MP4/8 car scale model kit:

The McLaren MP4/8 was the name of the Formula 1 single seater with which the McLaren team competed in the 1993 Formula 1 World Championship. The car was designed by Neil Oatley, and incorporated the latest technological advances based on complex electronics, such as the semi-automatic transmission, active suspension, two-way telemetry and traction control systems. All of these systems were developed in collaboration with one of McLaren's shareholders, TAG (Techniques d'Avant Garde). The MP4/8 was powered by the Ford HBD7 3.5 litter V8 engine.

Although the 1993 season was dominated by Alain Prost's Williams-Renault FW15C, Senna's skill allowed him to win as many as five races, finishing second in the Drivers' Championship. Among the 5 races in which Senna won was the last event of the season held in Australia, and McLaren had to wait up to 4 years to achieve a new victory, when David Coulthard won the 1997 Australian Grand Prix in the MP4/12.
