I was looking through Scalemates, and it seems that Revell, NuNu, & Arii made some McLaren MP4 Series cars in 1/24 (MP4-12, MP4-20, & MP4-25). Are those kits any good?
Thanks, Alex.
One thing I noticed recently is that the model has a center mounter wiper like the cars a Le Mans, where the cars that ran the Rolex 24 Hours at Daytona have one standard wiper on the left of the windshield. Oh well. Too late now.
I was looking through the instructions on Scalemates, and it does appear that there is a full engine & P/E safety belts. Underbody looks pretty good, too.

I saw recently on another modeling forum that Meng Models is issuing (or already has issued) a 1/24 scale McLaren MP4/4 1988:
McLaren MP4/4 1988, Meng Model CS-007 (2024) (scalemates.com)
I find this both intriguing & odd that Meng is issuing a F1 car in 1/24 scale instead of the "standard" 1/20 F1 (Ma.K.) scale that almost all other F1 kits & the new Salvinos Indycar kit are in. Maybe the math was easier when scaling down their existing 1/12 McLaren MP4/4 1988 kit? No idea, but I do find in interesting. Might even get one, just because it's 1/24. I hope they follow with other 1/24 F1 cars.
