AUTOart is finally ready to release the 1:18 McLaren Honda MP4/6 1991 #1 – Ayrton Senna (with McLaren logo). This model was announced years back with no production model insight until October as the official release month. It’s rare in the modern era of scale models to find F1 cars that provide layers to discover as most are static representations today. The iconic livery along with the Ayrton Senna name should drive this one to sell out in no time!
Product# 89140
Is there going to be a non McLaren logo version of the car?
Yes!
Fantastic! Really looking forward to this one. When it comes to fully opening F1 models they are slim pickings nowadays. So very grateful to AutoArt for giving us a few every now and then.
Same here, can’t wait to display this McLaren next to my Exoto’s Ferrari 641/2 and Williams Fw14b. It’ll look amazing!
The texture on the tub looks a bit weird. I hope they won’t put plastic molded carbon fiber all over.
I checked the autoart site randomly on Saturday morning this past weekend. They changed it over completely and they were offering all sorts of new vehicles. I went to check it again that same nite, and the site reverted back to its previous offerings. 😔
Someone goofed. Should’ve pounced on it when I saw it. They had the speed tail, the nsx-r as the ones I was looking forward to thinking of purchasing. But now that I see this post. I’m going to hold off until I can pick this sucker up!! 👏🏻
Not impressed at all. Hopefully, that is a preproduction effort. Quite simple, even for an F1 car. The front suspension and engine really scream “shortcuts” The QC is bad- look at the simple misaligned “boss” stickers on the belts.
No thanks.
These photos are of the final production model and it looks really poor in detail, however, the sample model photos showed better detail on the engine and carbon fiber decals.
It is fabulous that Autoart makes 90s F1 cars with full opening and hopefully they will come out more in the future. What I do not like so much is that from the sample model to the final model the details of the engine and part of the bodywork have been lowered, if you compare photos of both models you will realize what i speak.
