How this one is built

Built to order from a new sealed LEGO® Technic McLaren MCL39 F1 Car. It is a long build with a large sticker sheet, which we apply with a wet method so the papaya livery sits straight, and the steering, suspension, differential, V6 pistons and opening DRS flap are tested before packing. The front wing is the vulnerable part, so it ships as a bulky parcel in a custom-cut foam cradle. Spot-gluing fixes the wings, sidepods and engine cover and leaves the steering, suspension and DRS working. Fits the Vehicle case in Large.

What is in the parcel

  • The built set, posed and checked
  • Spare parts, bagged and labelled
  • The original instructions and the flattened box
  • A bench card: who built it, when, glued or not, and how many spares

Care notes

  • Dust with a soft, dry make-up brush, or compressed air held well back.
  • Keep it out of direct sun: white and light grey bricks yellow over the years.
  • Lift it by the base or the heaviest part, never by a tower, wing or stem.
