If you missed the McLaren 750S set from back in 2017 like I did, here is your second chance. The McLaren Senna has already become a classic, and this set soon will, too. This iconic car, with its sleek gray and orange paint job, is a great set for anyone who loves things that are fast. This set, in addition to the car, comes with a McLaren driver wearing a unique Senna set of overalls, a spanner (or wrench) for changing wheels, and a brick-built wind fan for testing the aerodynamics of this sleek car. The build for this set is very interesting indeed, for some pieces are studs-down, others put in places one would never expect they would be placed, and a few specialized parts are included as well. I gave this set a 4/5 rating for playability because, as other ... MoreIf you missed the McLaren 750S set from back in 2017 like I did, here is your second chance. The McLaren Senna has already become a classic, and this set soon will, too. This iconic car, with its sleek gray and orange paint job, is a great set for anyone who loves things that are fast. This set, in addition to the car, comes with a McLaren driver wearing a unique Senna set of overalls, a spanner (or wrench) for changing wheels, and a brick-built wind fan for testing the aerodynamics of this sleek car. The build for this set is very interesting indeed, for some pieces are studs-down, others put in places one would never expect they would be placed, and a few specialized parts are included as well. I gave this set a 4/5 rating for playability because, as other reviewers have described, the rear wing is easy to detach, but this is hardly a reason to pass up this sweet ride. Altogether, this set is excellent and so very beautifully designed, especially in the front. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for something enjoyable to do who wants a nice-looking result and has the need for speed.

The Speed Champions Senna is a decent set for the price, but overall I was a little disappointed by the design. The Senna, being a modern supercar, would have looked a lot more proportional if built on the 8-stud-wide platform that the F8 Tributo was built on. The car looks too long and too narrow. I know these small sets can't possibly act as scale models, but it just looks a bit goofy in my opinion. My set also came with stickers that were cut shifted to one side, making it impossible to achieve a well-aligned appearance. I assume this issue was specific to my set, and not to the entire model run. If you are trying to decide between the Senna and another member of the Speed Champions series, pick a different one! (Tributo is a very good option).

This is a very attractive set with some cool pieces and interesting ways of putting parts together. However, the first thing I noticed when building it is that it felt very narrow. The vehicle it's modeled after is a 2 seater not a single seat, and comparing the final model to the real car's photo, it's easy to see that it's way too thin for how long it is. It still looks great, but it doesn't have that same wide profile supercar feel to it.It also has a lot of stickers, which are nice thin and clear ones, but they'd be so much nicer as a stamped graphic. I'm guessing that McLaren wanted their logos to appear in specific places a certain number of times, and stamping the parts would be too expensive. I just think that stamped parts are more attractive because I ... MoreThis is a very attractive set with some cool pieces and interesting ways of putting parts together.

I just think that stamped parts are more attractive because I don't have to worry about parts being crooked, having fingerprints in the glue, etc.Finally, the spoiler is attached with a really weak method (see photo). I can think of several potential ways the arms holding the spoiler could have been connected securely. The way it's attached by default makes the joint that controls the spoiler angle stronger than the base of the armatures, so just positioning the spoiler can cause the whole thing to fall off. It's just a frustratingly week attachment that isn't very easy to reattach.It's still a great model and looks nice on my shelf until the parts are needed elsewhere.
