More than 2150 PCS – LetBricks 1/8 Scale Lotus 99T of Ayrton Senna
A racing legend to build step by step: From Alfa Romeo 179 to Tyrrell P34 6-Wheeler, Lotus 79 or Ferrari 126C2: thanks to RoscoPC, we can assemble these legendary F1 models ourselves. As MOCs, or My Own Creations, these are building block models developed and built by a genius like RoscoPC himself and made available to the wider market. Behind RoscoPC was Luca Rusconi from Italy, a Lego Technic Formula One Builder, as he called himself that way on his website. We were shocked as we read in early 2025 he passed away, his work and love for F1 cars will always remain forever. One of his absolute insane builds…

Piece of art in 1:64 scale? – Lamborghini by Hung Hing FEATURETTE
Well well… …we need to talk! We are absolutely speechless. As the saying goes, never judge a book by its cover. Hung Hing? Another brand from Asia that publishes whatever it wants without the appropriate licences? Yes, admittedly, that’s what we thought when we first came across a model from Hung Hing. That was about two years ago at a motor show in Germany. The dealer at the stand raved about Hung Hing and told us that this was just the beginning.
