Amalgam is showing off the completed sample of their 1:8 McLaren Senna in Senna Sempre Livery. This is a limited edition of only 30 units, that offers engine and interior access. Each model is noted with 300 hours of build quality, this is reflected in the sale price, just north of $21,000 US.
Product# TBD
There is absolutely NO way that it takes the claimed “300 hours” to build each. It takes a lot less.
How do you know? Insider info or just experience?
I know from first hand experience with Amalgam models and my years in the industry. I have been in the specialty model car field as a full time business since 1982. Dealing in and manufacturing high end model cars, ltd, editions, hand builts, and one-off complete scratch builts. Consulting as well for types, from mass market to Ltd. hand builts. Amalgam always puts a spin on the what they put into their models.
