Description

This is an injection-plastic racing car model kit.


Formula 1 is one of the highest categories in motorsports. The McLaren MP4/4 dominated the 1988 season of the F1 World Championship, where select top drivers and the most advanced technology compete. The car's design was handled by Gordon Murray. Its carbon monocoque chassis and the body attached to it were designed as low as possible, increasing the efficiency of the rear wing and creating excellent aerodynamic performance. the engine powering it was Honda's 1.5-liter V6 twin-turbocharged engine. It was the most powerful engine of its time, boasting a maximum output of over 1,000 horsepower. The drivers of this most powerful machine were "The Professor" Alain Prost, who had already won back-to-back World Championships in 1985 and 1986, and "The Prince of Sonic Speed," Ayrton Senna, whose talent was in the spotlight.

In the 1988 season, when these two leading drivers competed in this most powerful machine, the MP4/4 won 15 of the 16 races, etching its dominance into history.

This plastic assembly kit from Beemax recreates the McLaren MP4/4, which dominated the 1988 F1 World Championship, in great detail. This 1/12-scale kit was produced with the full cooperation of McLaren, and was based on research into the actual car as well as advice from mechanics at the time, to faithfully recreate every last detail.

This ultimate kit, which is a completely new design and a new mold, represents the ultimate machine. The low monocoque designed by Gordon Murray and the body silhouette are accurately reproduced. The cowling can be removed even after completion. Beneath the fairing is the V6 twin-turbo engine, boasting over 1,000 horsepower, meticulously recreated down to its auxiliary equipment. This kit features the detailed expression only a large-scale kit can provide, truly conveying its performance. The model recreates the Monaco Grand Prix, the third race of the 1988 season. The first batch of this model kit will include a limited-edition rain tire set*, so you can recreate the wet qualifying session in which Senna's overwhelming performance earned him the pole position! This is a must-have model kit for motorsports fans -- place your order today!
