If I’m not mistaken there are two red 1x6 thin liftarms just behind the doors, below a black panel, in this set. Another part welcomed back.

Seems they are indeed smaller. At least they should still fit the 1:8 wheels. I’ve seen it done plenty of times and its a perfect fit.

So quick summary of new parts so far: Red Sian arches Red Sian 5x13 tapered panels Osprey blade in black Red Sian arch extension? White 2x3 panel Black 3x5 panel plate Red curved 3x13 panel This set is looking like a really good MOC package!

It has the Osprey/Sian blades in black at the skirts.

Cool! That one is red in real life, although a slightly darker red. That makes me wonder...

The version you bought is the stolen version. The only authorized version is produced by CaDa and that does have pieces in different colors, but not different pieces such as lights.

Yep, but those are also getting more and more rare.

A masterpiece! Already bought the instructions - they are amazing. I’m definitely building it next. By the way, you should look into a replacement for panel 13 and 14 in orange. They’re crazy rare at the moment and you need two of each.

That rear suspension setup looks very interesting. I’ve never seen it done that way. I really have to build one of your designs to see that gearbox in person.

Interesting they brought back the black bush again. They could easily have used a 1 long pin connector and a long axle pin instead. Not that I am complaining of course. I always need them!

It is a tight fit but for most people it won’t close shut because of the little stand. It has to fold down, not back.

I saw it on youtube a while ago. Amazing model!

There are pictures of the Jeep and the buggy. Not very high resolution, but they seem official, so here they are: https://bricksafe.com/files/LvdH/0472FE0C-33DF-4B6F-80FA-26A46FE1DC93.jpeg/800x575.jpg

The idea was since Cada is located in China they can protect his design. As an outsider, trying to sue a Chinese company? Yeah, good luck. It took all of LEGO’s lawyers to even get in a courtroom, and they must have a hundreds if not thousands.

Well yes I kind of am. Cada owns the full copyright to the C61042. Their legal team is located in China, so they can and will take action. DoubleEagle is actually quite a large company and has existed for quite a while so I am sure their legal team isn’t something to mess with. The Centenario on the other hand is freely available on Rebrickable. Knockoff companies can just say they didn’t copy Cada, but instead produced the Rebrickable version. That’s what I understood of it anyway. But, I am not a lawyer. I never studied laws. What do I know?

The Centenario was also made with permission of Tlego, but a different agreement. Tlego was allowed to sell instructions and Bruno isn't. However this sadly means other companies are illegally producing the Centenario.

I don’t know if anyone else pointed it out, but it also has the new 2x3 panel in blue just behind the doors.

The photos on the LEGO site definitely show LBG axles at the rear wheel. https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/mclaren-senna-gtr-42123

If you want some nice rims, the Sian wheels fit very well. It’s about €40 for a set on bricklink.

They’ve never released a large car in this color, at least not with the current style panels.

You can add blue 11 long soft axle to that list as well.

Probably the Ferrari. I couldn’t spot it in any set leaked so far. But maybe it’s just invisible...

I have had no issues with the hole pulling out. Though it does require a slightly shorter one, 16L instead of 19L. And yes, offering multiple colors was a huge missed opportunity. The original black one was built by a friend of mine, and it’s badass. A lot of other companies thought so too...

In the original design of Bruno it is really similar to your (and my) version. No idea why they changed it though. None of the red 15100 are really required either.
