At last! Details of how to get your hands on what is shaping up to be this year’s must-have Christmas pressie.
The box front - not quite as in the ad, but very modern and whizzy.
The back of the packaging, with lots of detail about the construction.
Motorsport merchandiser OnPole.com now has the kit available for pre-order – in limited numbers, so if you want one you had better get your name down now.
Get your Lewis Hamilton MP4-23 Airfix kit here >>
According to the retailer, it features 17 pieces with a total length of 148mm and width of 58mm. All parts are fully decorated and pre-painted. A small cross-headed screw driver is all that is required to complete the 1/32 scale model.
Of course, die-hard Airfixeers with their paints and brushes in a box under the stairs – and your Brits on Pole team count ourselves firmly in that camp, you should see our classic warbird collection – would rather all parts weren’t fully decorated and pre-painted, and that there were a few more than 17 of them.
But, come on, at least there’s a kit. Better than nothing, and maybe a more advanced one will come out when they’ve had a bit more time to prepare it.
Enjoy – and send us pics of your assembled car, as we’re sure we’ll be posting our own round about December 27…
