Italeri 1/12 McLaren MP4/2C - authentic F1 scale replica

The Italeri 1/12 McLaren MP4/2C kit recreates a significant car from the mid-1980s driven by Alain Prost and Keke Rosberg. The model aims to reproduce the vehicle's race geometry and cockpit layout for hobbyists focused on period-correct builds.

Authenticity and component detail

Key elements such as body contours and cockpit fittings are modelled to match the original MP4/2C. Builders who pay attention to alignment, seam removal and paint layering will achieve an accurate miniature of the racing car.

Assembly notes and presentation advice

The 1/12 scale size offers an involved assembly but yields a display-friendly model. Proper preparation, neat joins and careful decal placement enhance the finished appearance and collector value.

Is this kit suitable for display in a cabinet?

Yes, once completed and sealed with a protective coat the model makes an excellent cabinet display. Consider a clear base to protect paint and decals from dust.

Do the instructions include painting guides for the original livery?

How can I improve small part handling during assembly?

Use fine tweezers, a magnifier and a steady work surface. Apply adhesive sparingly with a toothpick or micro-needle to avoid excess glue on delicate parts.
