A friend drove me crazy a few months ago with a screenshot of the collection launched only for the UK market.....after a while DeA decided to launch it worldwide and I am infinitely grateful to them. Love Love

I think it was the model I wanted the most: the RB19 with which Max graduated for the 3rd time world champion in Qatar in the sprint race. (actually at the top of all is the RB16B with which Max won his first world championship).

I subscribed twice, that is, I made 2 subscriptions: I'll assemble one step by step with some slight improvements (if there are any to be done), I'll store the other to make it in the GP Qatar 2023 version (even if it will be very complicated for the sidepods, letter box air intakes and bottom entry)

I'll assemble this one as I go and then place it in the living room or bedroom (with the kind permission of my girlfriend)

For once I'll start with some references using Max's 2023 book.

The quality seems very good, good couplings and good carbon weave, no visible screws (especially on the vertical profiles of the wing).
The only flaw is the usual bad coupling between the two nose shells.
As for possible extra detail: perhaps the color of the supports between the various wing profiles, the reinforcement patches of the supports themselves and little else.

This assembly will help me understand the defects, to understand how and where to modify the second one.
The most complicated part will be his livery which is as beautiful as it is difficult.

After assembling the first 2 issues, I then put everything in my "sanctuary" of Max for his 4 world championships.

Second shipment arrived home.

There are 3 files that include the first hub-wheel-front left wheel arms group.

I start with the assembly of the wheel group only (file 3) ... quite simple and elementary.

But the defects and the shortcomings are quite accentuated.

This element is so visible and characteristic that left like this it is not correct and very bare.










And now let's start with the "shopping list of defects/shortcomings"

- oversized tire shoulder ribs
- incorrectly shaped lenticular funnel
- lenticular color too opaque
- lenticular support ring details too evident
- no tire valve
- no barcode labels on tire shoulder
- no writing on tire shoulders
- no balancing weight on external lip
- no Dutch flag sticker on external lip
- no wear holes on tire footprint

as desired: no tread wear and rim bead too new, in many photos and races it is marked.

Redoing the lenticular and the valve is not a problem, now I have to decide (but I think without even thinking too much) to redo the tire as well.
I will wait for the decal until the end because I think there will be a lot of integration to do.
