Fantastic model kit from MFH where, as usual, various materials are combined, including white metal, turned metal parts, photo-etched parts, rubber rims and a decal sheet. Tires feature pre-printed manufacturer logos. The body cover can be removed once the model is assembled, allowing a full view of the detailed interior and mechanical parts. This reference recreates the version used by McLaren in the Japanese GP, with the famous and controversial maneuver between Prost and Senna, and in Portugal, where Alain Prost obtained second position, while Senna had to leave by accident. This B version features a slightly different rear spoiler.

Due to the change of regulation, in the 1989 season turbo engines are prohibited and it is changed to naturally aspirated engines. Honda developed a 3.5L V10 engine called the RA109-E, along with new technology like the semi-automatic transmission. The performance is so outstanding that it vastly outperformed all rivals, such as Ferrari, which was still working on those new technologies. The MP4/5 won 10 races out of 16 (of which Senna won 6 and Prost won 4), helping to win the Constructors' World Championship that season. In the Drivers' World Championship classification, although Senna won more races than Prost, regularity allowed Prost to obtain more points than Senna and become world champion, albeit after the controversial maneuver that ended with Senna being disqualified in race number 15, the Japanese GP.

If you like scale models with a multitude of parts, that include all possible details, and that can even pose a challenge, without a doubt, the Japanese brand
Model Factory Hiro (MFH) is your option. Scale models that combine the most diverse materials, available in various scales (from 1/43 to 1/12) and recreating both racing cars and motorcycles, which are a delight even from the moment of opening the box. A brand that you have to try at least once in your life!
