  • Bagged bits. This is a model of the McLaren MP4-26, the 2011 F1 car. COBI is a Polish company manufacturing LEGO compatible toys.
  • The bits out of the bags. This model was bought with prize money from the 2011 Fantasy Formula 1 competition at work.
  • Base and wheel mountings. The pieces are tight fitting and quite sturdy. COBI seem to be producing a very good LEGO copy.
  • Starting to build up the sides.
  • Side pod detail and front wing in progress.
  • Wheels in place. A purist would say at this point that the front and rear wheels are the same size and this isn't true to the original.
  • Building up the central structure and monocoque.
  • Finished! Only stickers to go on now...
  • All stickered up. Please welcome the COBI equivalent of Lewis Hamilton. Shame I stickered my car up in Button's decals.
  • Thanks to Dave Buckley and the guys in Matlock for letting me take part in the competition. I dedicate this kit to them.
