PROTOTYPE HISTORY

Hot afternoon, the smell of hot asphalt and burnt rubber. The stands are noisy in anticipation of the Grand Prix - top-class technoshows, pilot battles and the triumph of designers' skills. The roar of warming up engines easily covers the noise of the stands, because engines with a capacity of almost a thousand horsepower are trying their strength.

And now - a green light and roaring fireballs take the pilots to the first circle. Everyone is extremely concentrated - both the audience, and the mechanics, and the daredevils who dared to defy the laws of physics. After all, this is Formula 1, the queen of motorsport, the main competition in the world of cars.

Even people far from the racing theme know the names of the legendary F-1 pilots. Niki Lauda, ​​Alan Prost, Jos Verstappen, Damon Hill, Ayrton Senna, Louis Hamilton, Sebastian Vettel and, of course, Michael Schumacher have long been among the cult characters of world sports and culture. Books are written about them, films are made, covers and front pages of newspapers and magazines are dedicated to them. No less famous are their "stables" - workshops where miracles of automotive technology are created - Formula 1 cars. McLaren, Ferrari, Lotus, Williams and Mercedes - each workshop accumulates the best mechanics and engineers to create seemingly impossible mechanisms. But every year, updated fireballs enter the tracks and the competition flares up with renewed vigor.

In the collection of a car lover, there must be a Formula 1 car. At least his model. The Metal Time team created it for you.

"Grand Prix Falcon" is a modular model of an open-wheel racing car (bolide) designed for racing in the top division of motorsport.

To create a model, a standard racing car concept with characteristic components was chosen. Over the past decade, the overall concept of the car has not changed dramatically, limiting itself to minor improvements. Therefore, the Grand Prix Falcon model is relevant for this type of machine.

The front spoiler, fairing and landing gear make up the front of the model. The wheels are made in the form of hollow cylinders attached to the suspension structure. The spoiler is a structure with wavy cuts that perform a decorative function and lighten the model.

In the cockpit of the pilot, you can see the dashboard and steering wheel. Above it rises the central air intake. The main body with side air intakes hides the winding mechanism that drives the rear wheels of the model. The design is crowned by a rear spoiler.

Features

The “Grand Prix Falcon” looks recognizable and makes you want to collect five more of these models to build a track for them and arrange a ride with friends or family.

Like all Metal Time prefabricated building sets, the Grand Prix Falcon is made from sustainable stainless steel that is used in the food industry and approved for the production of consumer goods and toys.

Assembling the "Grand Prix Falcon" is a fun activity for those who like to design. The model consists of almost two hundred parts and is among the designers of medium complexity. Some knots will make you think and show finger dexterity.

The result of this will be another piece in your collection of models "Metal Time".
