Technic Ferrari SF-24 F1 Model Car Kit - Building Set for Adults, Ages 18+ with Realistic Features - Ferrari DIY Craft for Display - Gift Idea for F1 Fans - 42207

This is a great kit. After doing several Lego-alternative kits, it was nice to do another from the Swedish giant. Things that struck me (and were a delight): – Plastic used: Kits from alternative makers definitely require more effort to assemble, particularly when sliding a long rod through multiple bricks. Removing a mistaken rod or structure is inevitable, and *way* easier with Lego plastic. – Stickers: This kit is a sticker-fest, with 55 required for the final look. Lego stickers are just great... durable and adjustable if not placed perfectly. There are a lot of long-ish stickers in this kit, which can be tricky. I found that leaving about a 1/32" of plastic around each edge made placement easier... I ended up tacking one corner and then pulling the sticker taught to place the other edge, keeping an eye on that 1/32" border to keep them consistent and aligned. If they go down wrong, they can be lifted with something like an Olfa razor knife, raising a corner and then gently pulling them off... no damage seemed to occur (the adhesive is just perfect). The stickers also covered a great number of the holes in body panels, yielding a nice, clean look. Definitely a major part of the fun with this kit! – Tires: Huge and supple rubber. Decals are already printed on the rubber, leaving a great look. Center disks are also pre-painted and awesome. – Design: Just a lot of great forms coming together to create a beautiful, streamlined shape. Suspension is taught (and unusual in that the the springs/shocks are horizontal and incorporated into the body frame. Steering works and is fluid, but the steering yoke isn't very accessible in the end, so you'll see it turn when you move the wheels. Not many negatives to speak of... no missing parts that I could tell (a dozen small bits left over). The biggest negative might be the instructions, which are not always clear and often show parts already in place and not highlighted, which makes them easy to miss. This means you'll likely have to remove and adjust parts, but again the slippery plastic used makes this less of a pain than kits from other makers. The instructions are also kind of crazy in that an entire page might be used to show the placement of one small piece (see photo). And I guess the price might be high (of course), but I got a week of enjoyment so the cost per hour is not too bad. And it truly is a gorgeous build! Highly recommended!

Probably one of my favorite builds to date. The details are impressive and the finished model is sturdy. Won’t have pieces falling off like the AT-AT Walker ($1,000 crumbling piece of junk). My only complaint is I’m not a fan of stickers, and there are a TON of stickers. In the end however it was worth it. Instructions were great and building it was fun. Definitely going to go for another!

I just completed the assembly and LOVED the process and results. I spent about 14 hours on assembly. CAUTION: Use a magnifying glass to look at the fine details on the hundreds of tiny, two-sided connectors. Some end in what looks like a + sign and some are round with an opening on opposite sides. They are NOT interchangeable! This was well worth the money based on the fun assembling it and the incredible, fully assembled 1:8 scale F1 car. NOT for anyone under around age 16, give or take. Or adults who can't follow instructions.

This is such a fun, fun, fun build. It takes a little time, focus and attention to detail, but that’s what makes it fun. I worked on it over a few evenings. The end result is beautiful. Sizable difference over the Speed Champions I’m used to doing.

So after a rough start. Got a replacement model which arrived quickly and completely new. That was a week ago and I have fully assembled the Ferrari F1 model. It’s looks great! No missing parts. Amazing consistency in the parts and fitment. Actually there is a small number of extra parts. This is what I expect from a legit Lego product. The packaging is premium. 10 numbered sturdy plastic bags, a bag of “+” parts, a bag of wheels and a box of tires. There’s also a paper envelope bag with the instruction book and stickers The Lego pieces are premium plastic. Rigid, firm and flexible all at the same time. Individual small connectors come individually packaged inside each numbered bag. Stickers are thick and adhesive is strong. That being said. I was able to pull off stickers and reposition if I made a mistake. This did not leave a wrinkle or bulge. A testament to the quality of the stickers. Instruction book has number references to facilitate the sticker installation. Very clear instructions and drawings that make assembly easy. There are no written words so you have to follow the pictures and arrows carefully. Bought a LED backlit display frame to mount in the wall. Thinking of getting the Mercedes FI to compliment the Ferrari

Tremendous success! Our grandson loved it and immediately put it together and cannot stop talking about it.

This is my third 1/8-scale LEGO F1 and, like the others, a great pleasure to build. The resulting completed models are a great joy to display. Any LEGO model must be seen as an interpretation of what it's modeled after and the F1 racing car is especially well suited due to its modular architecture and exposed mechanics—making the LEGO version appear quite true to the real thing. I highly recommend!

I really enjoyed this model. I have built many of the Lego Technic Adult cars, and this was really fun. It being an open wheel vehicle meant it had fewer pieces for an easier installation. It really looks great on display in my home and I think was well worth the price.

Bought it for my daughter's birthday, she is so happy with it! It's fun to build, long to build (which is great) and looks awesome! She's a huge F1 fan, and this was the perfect gift!

O produto é de ótima qualidade, conforme são os produtos LEGO. A entrega era no mesmo dia mas atrasou e não foi muito. Foi tranquilo. A caixa veio com amassado mas não danificou nada. Recomendo
