LEGO Technic Ferrari 488 GTE AF Corse #51 42125 Building Kit

After a day of fighting, my old waist can’t straighten up when I’m tired. I don’t know if I bought it for me or for my child. Compared with the little Lego we used to fight before, the drawing is just like a book. I have a sense of accomplishment after finishing it It is very challenging to divide each group into bags 1-5 There are also many stickers, all of which are trademarks of Ferrari sponsors The steering wheel can drive the bearing and the tires together The rear wheel also has gear control that can be linked The door can be opened and closed There is a seat in the driving position, but not in the co-pilot position (I don’t know what the real car is, I haven’t seen it before) If you like to fight Lego, you can enter, value for money The child said that he ... MoreAfter a day of fighting, my old waist can’t straighten up when I’m tired.

A great piece of modern machinery, albeit on a smaller scale.

If it were only bigger I would be in my element, and a lot more like me I dare say! Sadly not the case, but if I ever won the lottery who knows? It lets you see just what makes a car like this in a smaller form, granted, but what an achievement once you put that final piece into place. Great educational tool also. If you and your son/daughter are into building models that need detailed drawings to help achieve this, then this is certainly the one for you. It can give you hours of family fun and sence of accomplishment once completed.

Good midrange Technic set

I consider this to be a midrange set. There is no gearbox to build, so its slightly easier for younger builders. It's a pretty large set (see picture in comparison to the Bugatti Chiron set). Overall, it was a fun build even if it wasn't as challenging as other sets. The wheels seemed to sit a little high above the fenders more like an offroad vehicle than a race car due to the suspension springs, but that's just a nitpick.The only downside is the sheer amount of stickers. Full disclosure, I don't like Lego stickers.For a few dollars more, I would recommend the Lego Land Rover Defender instead as it was more challenging, has less stickers, and has better functionality.

Great midrange Technic

I really liked this kit a lot. It’s comparable to the Porsche 911 RSR in size/difficulty but this one just seemed to look so much better throughout the build process. There weren’t as many “gaps” or openings around the pieces which gave a more streamlined end product. A lot of the reviews ding it on the number of stickers but to be honest I enjoy the look of the more realistic model and didn’t mind them as multiple stickers were usually bundled in the same step. The suspension is awesome and very responsive. The engine gear connections and engine mounting seemed simpler than other models. For a mid range model I was very impressed with the build and end product. I liked the front end build up and the sliding action to bring it all in line to make the connections. ... MoreI really liked this kit a lot.

Seemed to be more thought out and solid in construction than the Porsche. I love these sets and this is one of the best. Look forward to the future sets of this level. Still love the Bugatti but for a mid range this one is awesome.

Just Nothing But Fun

This is my fourth Lego car, I have the 42000 Formula 1 car (Lego’s 1st 1:8 scale model car), the Lamborghini Sian, the Porsche 911 RSR and this Ferrari. This was an easy model to assemble - approx. 5-1/2 hours, but it is perfectly engineered and Lego’s instructions are always exact. The finished product looks great and I know my 2 year old grandson can move it back and forth without major destruction. When he gets a little older, we will rebuild these cars together. If you purchase this car, it will not disappoint you and it’s a great value as well.

Knock off product.

Recently ordered Ferrari 488 GTE Lego set online. When I have received my order, I was surprised to see how damaged my box was (in multiple places). I opened the box to make sure that Lego parts were not damaged and the first thing I noticed that the bags parts were not numbered and Ferrari wheels were not even packaged at all. Suspicious of the product I proceeded investigating further. So the box itself does not even say Lego on it, no yellow Ferrari logo on in and many other details were missing.I took the product back for refund and strongly advise not to deal with this seller. No one should pay $145 for $60 knock off. If I could put zero stars in my rating I definitely would !

Monster Truck much?

This set is pretty good, it’s a nice addition to the 1/10 scale line up. For $20 more it definitely looks more complete some of the holes are filled up better. The stickers are horrible. 57 in all I believe. The doors are a bit fragile and my passenger door is very loose. The doors on the Porsche 911 RSR are much better and sturdier. The wing is a bit fragile too, I know this isn’t the best test but I picked both of them up via wing and the Porsche wing is very sturdy and integrated well into the car while the Ferrari wing just detached from the car. I know that’s not a great test but just wanted to see how sturdy the Ferrari was compared to the Porsche. Finally if there is a way please let me know but the ride height. I don’t know why but the Ferrari looks like an ... MoreThis set is pretty good, it’s a nice addition to the 1/10 scale line up.

I don’t know why but the Ferrari looks like an offroader. The front is okay but the rear there is way to much of a gap there. It’s so awful because something tells me in real life the car is a bit lower. Yes it’s probably so the suspension can work better but I would be able to sacrifice some of that so it would look better. I say that because this is a display model not a play model. The pretty neat $50 technic cars like the Jeep Wrangler and McLaren Senna. Those are play cars. Yep that’s it thanks for reading, now your weekly reading log is done.

My first Lego set in 10 years

Used to love Lego as a kid, and have been wanting a technic set for a while. Finally bit the bullet and bought one.Took a few hours spread out over a few days, and it was really enjoyable. The first set I put together without crying or losing pieces!The car is very true to life. I love the small details like the pistons, crankshaft, differential, suspension, opening doors, etc.It's a very cool piece to have on display in my sim racing room! I also just completed the McLaren F1 car. Safe to say I'm hooked and will be spending way too much money on Lego now

New to large Car Builds

I am into LEGO construction/ worksite plant, this is my first large car, of course it had to be a Ferrari!!I enjoyed this build, I used the online instructions as I can zoom in and see them more clearly, I enjoyed the detail from the suspension to the roof, there is a nice detail to this set. I have built numerous adult sets, this one is different, I modified to right hand drive on the first build - added a challenge and Australian cars are RHD - even most Italian / imported cars!It's a technic set so it has some interesting detail in the body finish, I didn't add the stickers this time, thought i'd do that on a future rebuild! and this is the joy of LEGO build & rebuild as many times as you like!

What, No Cup Holders?!

I'm way on the wrong side of 30 and haven't played with Legos in 25 years! I bought this on a whim, after returning to school (online), and found I need something to fiddle with while listening to lectures. This project completely reminded me of how much I love Legos! I've since ordered several more models: Lieberherr R 9800, Porsche 911 RSR, Volvo Articulated Hauler, and Bugatti Chiron. My wife thinks it's "adorable" and said no more Legos until Christmas, as she would like to get me the Lambo–I told her no promises!I'm leaving a review to share my excitement of getting back into Legos, as I'm sure there are people around my age—or older—who are teetering on the idea of buying some. Here's my advice: Just do it!Being that this was my first time with Legos in ... MoreI'm way on the wrong side of 30 and haven't played with Legos in 25 years!

Here's my advice: Just do it!Being that this was my first time with Legos in decades, I took my time and enjoyed the quality of the instructions and systematically aligning each part. The bags were all numbered and every part needed was included. Every part needing a decal was cleaned with rubbing alcohol, and the decal was positioned with tweezers. All in all, I covered about 6 hours of lectures while leisurely assembling the car.I went ahead and built it with lowered suspension. I'm not sure why the instructions have it built 'lifted' as Ironically, the manual preface provides pictures of Lars Krogh Jensen (Lego Designer) building the car with lowered suspension. I've provided a pic, for reference, with the suspension circled.This is a big model, at least from what I remember of Legos! I have a pic of the car next to a large keyboard, for reference.Beautiful end result! I recommend this model to any Lego fan.
