Excellent F1 Building Experience
on March 17, 2024
Posted by: PlayfulIcerlot024
One of the best car sets I own. The attention to detail is great and the final product is just a joy to look at. I might be biased since I’m a huge F1 fan, but it is very impressive to see how such a machine is designed and built. The price is also really good for what you get in my opinion.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great build, with one huge asterisk
on August 2, 2024
Posted by: Jeff
This was my first car build (12th overall), and I really enjoyed most of the experience. It was great to watch it progress, and the 3D instructions on the Builder app were incredibly helpful at times.
That said, there's one huge drawback: SO. MANY. STICKERS. I get annoyed when there are five stickers, and this one has close to 80. EIGHTY STICKERS. Every time I got into a rhythm, a series of fiddling with stickers reminded me how much I hate them.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Very enjoyable build
on August 3, 2024
Posted by: HTMC
I prefer doing more challenging builds and I find, in general, the Technics builds are the most challenging. Being a bit of a car buff, I gravitate to the more complicated cars. I have done the Lamborghini and the Bugatti, similar builds but both challenging, I had not done a car in about 18 months and I have to say, while a smaller project, the AMG-F1 was an interesting build. I found it to hold my interest not to repetitive and as many have suggested felt like I was building a real car. I was surprised there was not any attention paid to the brakes, but overall I thought the build was good. There are times when the instructions are not clear. I think there are places along the way where if you were building a project like this for the first time, you could make a number of mistakes. Maybe some tips within the instructions making sure customers use the right "pins" don't confuse right and left panels etc, might be helpful. I would definitely recommend this project.

We're sorry to hear that some instructions weren't clear. For your future experience, you can find higher contrast digital instructions that allow you to zoom in and rotate at LEGO.build/BuilderApp-BV so go check it out!

Verified Purchase:Yes
This was my very first Lego build and I had a great time. Love the attention to detail and functionality of the set. The fact that it has an actual pushrod front and pullrod rear suspension sold it for me. Will be getting the SF 24 when it releases as well.

The build itself is fun and challenging. The real treat is learning more about the structure of F1 cars.

It’s prettty good for the price and the length it has wayyyy to many stickers tho I would prefer the smaller stickers to be printed into the brick already. Overall good set
