Great video…love the technical history of the car. The color of this RB is one of my favorites. Not a huge fan of the modern mat finishes so revisiting this one is great. Sorry to see a missing part not represented by the seller. I admit to touching my models and they break but that should be represented by the seller. Having looked at my 1/18th and now your 1/43rd it does appear Spark got it correct contrary to my personal recollection from seeing them race. Width and height were more defined than length giving flexibility in wheel base and overall car length during that period. I think the front wing can only extend a certain distance from the centerline of the wheel but the nose had to be a max height off the ground so RB, and others, where forced to add extensions to the nose of the car. Sauber, McLaren, Caterham, Lotus…frankly everyone but Merc and Ferrari had some bizarre protrusion. Google the Caterham or Lotus…weird…wish they had made them in 1/18th.
Thanks for all of your feedback. If I can find another model of this car, I will pick it up. Being a perfectionist, this really bother me. Thanks again.
Although a nice f1, sucks for the broken parts. The car being off scale can be a optical effect since it don't have the same nose style as the mercedes, i could be wrong, but as u said f1 became longer after time, especially around 2020 and now. I got 3 new 1/43 on my way (i change habit like i change clothes). Sigma MC74 from spark, and Lexus Sc430 + transformers nissan gtr gt300 from super gt, good deal from ebbro 20e each, a bargain. Cheers
I reached out to "My car Cave" as he does a lot of F1 reviewees and has hundreds of F1 cars. He went back through his collection and confirmed that the RB10 is indeed shorter than the Mercedes. That made me feel a little bit better. I just get annoyed with broken F1 cars. I have only one race car that arrived damaged. In the short time that I have amassed F1 cars, several. They are very intricate and fragile. But, they are gorgeous and worth collecting.
@@markzebr6463 any car is worth collecting as long as its speaks to you😉, (and if its a spark of course), glad u got ur answer. Posts can be a pain sadly. Everything depends on how the package has been treated its like playing Russian roulette.
