This is the Mclaren MP4/1C 1983 Silverstone Test Drive Ayrton Senna Car #7 in 1:18 scale by Tecnomodel.

In 1983, a young Ayrton Senna tested the McLaren MP4/1C at Silverstone—a pivotal moment that hinted at the future legend he would become. Although it wasn't a race but a private test session, it was unique because Senna, then still in Formula 3, impressed McLaren engineers with his blistering pace and technical feedback. Driving car #7, Senna's performance during this test stunned team boss Ron Dennis and sowed the seeds for his eventual Formula 1 stardom. The test became one of the most talked-about sessions in F1 history, marking one of the earliest glimpses of Senna’s extraordinary talent behind the wheel of a Formula One car.

This model is hand painted and polished to a beautiful finish and has a sealed body. Resin models are
exceptionally accurate of scale, shape and detail. Each model is created using a variety of production
processes, to achieve this precision. They are produced using a composite material referred to in the
industry as “resin”. Photo etched parts, die-cutting, tampo printing and waterslide decals are often used
for the most authentic replication.
