Not into Technic myself, but it looks fantastic.

No doubt a 1x2 rounded tile in trans red.

What is with the gold sausages inside the grill btw? Regardless it's something i will remove instantly, and put two white tiles in place. EDIT: I see, it's replicating the hosing and fittings of the oil cooler.

Well, it looks pretty good, but if it's still €160 then that's a big fat no and waiting for a hefty discount. Not to mention modders will no doubt overhaul it (like the Countach), which means i wouldn't be building it until then anyways. The prints are going to be a disaster as well like on the Mustang, i replaced all those with dark blue replacements.

Had to add another little mod to make the inner wign end plates completely black. And the parts configuration

May as well add some pictures here as well :)

All tweaks done now. Rear Wing has rounded corners at the front. Wing with McLaren is thinned down. Cockpit sides have slopes now instead of rounded curves. Mirriors can be rotated inwards and have the correct black mounts.

This is Bentobrick's model but i changed some things. Upper rear wing is slighty shifted forward so Canon aligns better with the bottom. Added extra suspesion bars like with his MP4/4 mod. Airbox is now curved forward. The airbox is by no means perfect, but LEGO has it's limitations, i do think the car looks a lot better now because of it.

The rumor on the LEGO Leaks reddit has been removed as it seems it's not going to be a Dodge Viper. The price, set number, release date and piece count are accurate though, but it will be a different car.

Better be blue with white stripes.

The rear wing always bothered me so i did some fitting with spare parts i had laying around. On real pictures it clearly has a radius at the front corner so that was the first thing to change, which was easy enough as you can see. And the mixels ball joints at the back never looked good to begin with. It's now similar to prototyp's approach except the stacked look is kept. Just need to order the parts in the right colors now.

The only thing that bothers me is the missalignment of the red slopes on the cockpit.

Just like the Speed Champion sets these will be largely recolors for a hefty price.

I'll see by that time them, i'm not a LEGO designer or MOC creator so i have to go by the right instructions to get things right. Worst case i'll leave the MP4/4 boxed up and resell it ^^

I'm guessing there will be multiple revisions until the new tires actually come out? Seeing you also changed the floor since the initial upload. Best to hold out ordering parts until it's all finalized? :)

Recently uploaded, the perfect mod. We just got to wait until early next year for the unprinted red wedge slopes on the side of the cockpit.https://rebrickable.com/m...ren-mp44-upgrade/#details

Yeh, these tires better be available through pick a brick, that's the least we deserve after their McLaren failure.

I think they're indeed flipped for the front wheels.

So they can design proper width rims... Why the hell didn't they do this for the McLaren MP4/4 and simply used the already available threaded tires for a rain look?

No doubt classic, like all the cars in the Icon series. Seeing how they butchered the MP4/4 tires i highly doubt perfection in that department.

Can anyone confirm that the McLaren rims fit in the 15413 tires?

I think i'm going to go the route of a hackjob with original LEGO parts. Get 2x 56904 and 2x 15413 and glue them together, i'll see later how i fill the hallow area of the 56904 tires. Could be as simple as rolling up some black paper.

I think these are currently the best looking, but i find them far too realistic looking on a LEGO model. LEGO ICONS Senna F1 Mclaren Mp4/4 Goodyear Replacement Wheels & Tires - Etsy Netherlands

This set no doubt is going to have a lot of mods, so much is wrong with it.

I was thinking something like this to fix the tires. Sure they ain't slicks, but Senna was a king in the rain :D
