    Looks reasonable. I've got the spark 43rd Alonso AMR23 car and it's lovely, definitely next level compared with bburago. Annoyingly some UK ebayer has some for sale for a fair less than what I paid, so there's a good deal to be had on that one. I wish the real car disnt have so much exposed black carbon on the upper sidepods. However in real life yiure rarely seeing it from suxh a high angle and its hidden. I noticed yours has some blemishes in the RHS sidepod carbon bit. The fin design suggests it's an early season version. Spark and minichamps do a Bahrain version so may be that. Although I think it would be pretty unchanged for a few races anyway, such as at Australia
