This is a supermodified update to Lego's 10330 McLaren MP4/4 Icons kit. A fully re-sequenced, ground-up redesign brings corrected proportions, refined shaping, and loads more detail. Shout-out to Bento for the starting point on some of these updates, his work triggered this whole adventure.
Reworked proportions 99% matched to the actual car
Widened track front and rear, longer wheelbase
Lengthened tub and cockpit with entirely new tub build
Tub and mechanical halves build up as separate sections
Lengthened mechanical area
Reworked engine and rear mechanical bits
New turbos, plumbing, and exhausts
Reworked sidepods with radiators and intercooler details
Lower, redesigned floor
New roll hoop build (without the weird quarter-domes)
Heavily-revised bodywork and engine cover
New aft sidepod surfacing
Removable front wing
Updated - less bulky - rear wing flap
High resolution, carefully-sequenced instructions are designed for screen and print, generally include a single-step focus with multiple parts per page. I rigorously engineer, test-build, and refine all of my designs for an elegant and enjoyable build experience.
Purchase is for digital instructions and parts list files only. Does not include physical bricks.
Model requires 760 parts (not included). 330 come from the Lego set, the additional 430 should cost appx $75~80.
2025.04.05 Updated Parts lists now include the wheel/tire parts. You'll want a set of the staggered-width, printed wheel/tires from the 10353 Williams FW14B kit.
