martinfan5 Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 Here we get a first look at the new tool McLaren 570s from Revell AG
Bennyg Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 I'm surprised they didn't do the P1, but this looks awesome.
kelson Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 Kinda like the looks of this one,will wait for a detailed review to help me decide.
da_ashman Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 Bit of a werid release, but most welcome, it looks good!Ive heard depending on how this sells they will look at releasing "other" mclaren models.... best go out & buy a few then!

Exotics_Builder Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 How is it weird? Only thing I have heard is that it is the entry level version and many were hoping for the P1. But any new exotic is a good thing.
Matt Bacon Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 (edited) Revell's argument was that they wanted to go for a car that more people were likely to see around the place. Personally I wouldn't be surprised to discover that perhaps the kind folks that licensed them to do a LaFerrari and a 918 were quite happy not to see a model of their main rival on the same shelves. Equally, as the first Mclaren licensed product, maybe McLaren wanted their VERY latest product kitted... and especially from that angle, it's also a very pure expression of Mclaren's design essence.bestest,M.

Rob Hall Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 Also, keep in mind the P1 is old news now...it's production run is over, and McLaren is likely working on a successor...
Bennyg Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 Is it me, or do these wheels look better than usual from revell?Ben
tim boyd Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 Very, very sharp...and an excellent choice (IMHO) for a McLaren kit. TIM
Speedfreak Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 Is this curbside or is that an actual engine I see in there?
Luc Janssens Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 Is this curbside or is that an actual engine I see in there?105 parts probably means a engine...One can't realy go by what you see on the photo's here, which is a mock up, not generated from tooling.
Jhedir6 Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 Personally I like this, a lot. I'd like to see the P1 too, but as stated above, its production run is over, McLaren would want a new kit out there and if it sells well, maybe they'll license the P1......here's hoping.I think the tires look like Revell's general fair....poor, too tall of a profile and too skinny. Hard to say for sure but I'm betting I'm right.I agree, with 105 parts, most likely an engine or most of it, but I bet like the 918 they do a 1 or 2 piece body with no opening hatch, which is a failure imo.Hopefully Plamoz with do corrected scale wheel set for this like they did for the i8 and 918, or someone else out there. I'm actually sort of surprised that no aftermarket company, like HD or Plamoz is doing current tires for aftermarket upgrades for some of these new kits. I'm sure they'd sell well.Anyway, I'm sure I'll have to pick up atleast 2 of these kits so I can have a road version then do a conversion to a GT racer on the other, cause McLaren's look great in race trim.

Matt Bacon Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 I think the tires look like Revell's general fair....poor, too tall of a profile and too skinny. Hard to say for sure but I'm betting I'm right.That's not actually Revell's problem. They always have the tire profile bang on. Their issue is the size of the wheels, which don't include the bead rim. But the ratio of tire width to wall height is always correct on their recent kits -- they just need to get the rim size big enough.As an aside, the recently released Hobby Design Pirelli 20" Corsas are WAAAYY too low-profile. The compliance of the sidewall is part of what makes tyres work with the suspension set-up of the car. If you are a crazy tooner whose car will never be driven anywhere except off the trailer, then rubber bands are OK. but anything less than 30% isn't going to work on a driveable supercar...bestest,M
Chuck Kourouklis Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 We're so overdue for just about any streetable McLaren with a bit of detail, I'm stoked any which way. Happens that I like the look of the 570 best, though, so aces!
CFMgarage Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 I'm a huge fan of the 570, so I'll definitely be interested in picking one up!! I'm also silly enough to try and add some extra aerodynamics, and a set of different wheels with some sticky tires for that weekend track car look...
Mike Chernecki Posted April 7, 2016 Posted April 7, 2016 I don't know enough about McLaren's to know if this is the same model as the kit coming out. This a one of many McLaren's in Winnipeg, but this one is driven in the snow. I want this as my winter car.
BVC500 Posted September 21, 2016 Posted September 21, 2016 Revell has certainly been silent on this and the AMG GT! Aren't these kits supposed to be released in November and December?

Zoom Zoom Posted September 21, 2016 Posted September 21, 2016 Blasphemy!!! Not as blasphemous as the fact it's about to be renamed the iMacLaren 570s
