1:20 McLaren MP4/4 – Cockpit Set No.12 (for Tamiya Kits) is a Studio27 detail set for the cockpit of car number 12 – that is, Ayrton Senna's car from the 1988 season. It is not a kit – it is an addition to the Tamiya McLaren MP4/4 kit in 1:20 scale, which you already have to have.
Responsibility details are not available.
Careful, this is neither a model nor a kit. It is a detail set of cockpit parts from Studio27 that replaces and supplements plastic parts in the basic Tamiya McLaren MP4/4 kit in 1:20 scale – which you have to own separately. Without it you will not be able to use the set.
In the 1988 season Ayrton Senna drove car number 12 and Alain Prost car number 11. You are therefore not buying just any cockpit – you are buying Ayrton Senna's cockpit, the cockpit of the man who took his first world championship title that year. If you are building Prost's car, you need the set for car No. 11 instead – Studio27 makes it separately under the name Cockpit Set No.11. Mixing them up means building the wrong driver, so please check before ordering.
The McLaren MP4/4 is the most dominant car Formula 1 has ever seen: in 1988 it won fifteen races out of sixteen. Senna took eight of them, Prost seven. Two of the finest drivers of all time sat in the same team, in the same car – and their duel grew into the most famous rivalry in the history of sport. The car was powered by a turbocharged 1.5 liter Honda V6, dressed in what is today an iconic red and white livery.
A Formula 1 car is completely exposed – there is no bodywork to hide mistakes. You can see into an open cockpit, and molded plastic simply is not enough there: the seat belts are only a suggested engraving, the buckles have no shape, the instrument panel has no depth. Photo-etched sheet is as thin as real sheet metal in scale and belts with buckles finally look like belts with buckles. That is the difference that decides things at an exhibition.
The set is supplied unassembled and unpainted. It is not a complete model – the basic kit, the glue, the paints and the tools are not included in the package.
