Spark: 1/18 scale review of a 2021 Red Bull Honda RB16B/ Verstappen.

No words for this, absolutely beautiful, always been fascinated by these 1:18. As u pointed out and repaired urself, i have the feeling these are way too fragile for shipping, the way postmans handle packages makes me anxious. way more than 1:43, i have saw numerous on facebook pages destroyed, including an 935 with the body cut in half..enough to scares me, can't say ive not been tempted to buy one of these but i never got the guts to do it. Yet. Great video

Thanks Patito. I normally avoid anything is 1/18 scale partially due to cost, but mostly size and space. I made a low-ball bid in Ebay for it and was stunned when I had won and was committed to buying it. I was quite excited when I had received it and heartbroken when I opened it up. The wheel and assembly were detached as well as the very fragile pitot tube. After I was able to fix all of that, the front wing fell off after I had removed the foam strip supporting it. Now I was truly upset. Thank God for BONDIC. Without this amazing superglue, would have never been able to repair it. Bottom line is no more 1/18 for me. These collectors' models are very fragile as I have learned when handling some of my models. I have never however received a well packaged model such as this with as much extensive damage. I truly believe that this 1/18 scale F1 models are too fragile for mass shipping and am amazed that they reach retailers without extensive damage as I am told that they sometimes do. Gonna stick to 1/43 scale from now on.

It's disgusting that a brand like Spark make these mistakes, mostly for the price of its car, apart from that the model is amazing, but 1/18 is not my scale

Agreed..My last 1/18 scale model. Great model regardless.
