1/20 MCLAREN MERCEDES MP4/13 M

1998 saw the introduction of new Formula 1 regulations and with it a new McLaren Mercedes machine. Featuring an effective aerodynamic design to produce high downforce, improved suspension for better road-holding, new Bridgestone tires, a well-balanced chassis designed by Adrian Newey, and of course the powerful 3-liter Mercedes V10 engine, the two cars driven by Mika Hakkinen and David Coultard dominated the season. Starting with a one-two finish at the Australian Grand Prix, the team went on to claim the Constructor’s Title and Hakkinen out-dueled Michael Schumacher to become the 1998 F1 Champion. High-quality assembly kit display model of the MP4/13 in a new, stylish black packaging. Engine cowling can be removed to display interior details such as the V10 engine, radiator, and rear suspension after completion. Unique aerodynamic features such as the stepped underpanel and diffuser are precisely reproduced. Tires come with Bridgestone markings and are made from solid rubber for authentic feel. 2 sets of markings are included to depict cars driven by Mika Hakkinen or David Coultard.
