    We are delighted to present our first ever race weathered Formula 1 models at 1:18 scale, created in partnership with Tempus Magazine. This meticulously patinated model of the McLaren MCL39 is limited to just 39 pieces, and celebrates the opening season victory of eventual 2025 FIA Formula 1 World Champion Lando Norris. Each model has been hand-painted and detailed by our artisans in Bristol to precisely replicate the dirt and detritus that adorned the car at the end of the wet 2025 Australian Grand Prix. The base model was developed in collaboration using confidential CAD data supplied directly by the engineering team at McLaren Formula 1 Team. The prototype model was then thoroughly scrutinised to ensure complete accuracy of representation, before the weathering details are precisely applied by the artisans in our Bristol workshop using archival imagery to ensure the completed model is a perfect replica of the real car. 

    The first McLaren to win both the World Drivers' Championship and World Constructors' Championship in the same season since the Adrian Newey-designed MP4/13 of 1998, the MCL39 sought to build on the successful foundation of the previous year’s Constructors’ Championship winning MCL38. In the hands of Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, in their seventh and third seasons with the team respectively, the MCL39 secured the Constructors’ title in joint-record time at the Singapore Grand Prix, with six races remaining in the season. Lando Norris secured his maiden Drivers' Championship at the final race of the season, becoming the first McLaren driver since 2008 to earn the honour.

    An Evolution of a Champion

    While the MCL39 was an evolution of the MCL38, which had been consistently among the quickest cars of the 2024 season, it incorporated substantial technical advancements to maintain McLaren’s competitive edge. Radiators were repositioned further up and backwards, and the car retained the front pull-rod and rear push-rod suspension layout, now enhanced with increased anti-dive measures to improve ride-height control. Other notable changes included redesigned sidepod inlets, revised engine cover bodywork, and a new, wider airbox inlet. Every component was optimised for maximum performance, and McLaren continued to introduce upgrades throughout the season, reinforcing the car’s adaptability and speed across all circuits.

    Subtle Changes to a Winning Livery

    Unveiled at the F1 75 launch event on 18 February 2025 at London’s O2 Arena, the MCL39’s livery remained largely consistent with 2024, preserving McLaren’s iconic papaya colour palette accented with anthracite and a hint of teal. Subtle updates included refreshed driver numbers and a new race seat, while elements from the geometric camouflage design shown on pre-season filming day were incorporated into the driver race suits. A diagonal cut-through integrated anthracite into the papaya aesthetic, maintaining visual continuity with the team’s Championship-winning heritage while giving the MCL39 a distinct 2025 identity.

    2025 Season Summary

    The MCL39 proved immensely reliable and consistently competitive in the hands of Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri throughout a full calendar of challenging circuits. Norris claimed the season-opening win in Australia to seize the early initiative in the title battle, but Piastri responded with four victories across the next five rounds - in China, where he led home a McLaren 1-2, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, and Miami, securing a second 1-2 finish - to take the lead in the standings himself. Norris then returned to winning form in Monaco, while Piastri triumphed in Spain, as the duo continued to tussle closely for the championship advantage.

    Canada proved a flashpoint, as the pair collided on the main straight. Piastri managed to continue, while Norris, taking full responsibility for the incident, retired with terminal damage - McLaren’s first retirement of the season. The team bounced back with four consecutive 1-2 finishes: Norris led home in Austria, Britain, and Hungary, while Piastri claimed victory in Belgium. The Australian added another win in the Netherlands, though Norris suffered the team’s only mechanical retirement of the season.

    In the latter part of the year, title rival Max Verstappen of Red Bull hit top form, winning six of the remaining nine races. Piastri’s own performances dipped slightly, starting with a crash in Azerbaijan - where Norris finished seventh - followed by four races without a podium. Despite this, McLaren secured the Constructors’ Championship in Singapore with six races remaining. Norris and Verstappen closed the gap on Piastri in the Drivers’ standings, with Norris overtaking his teammate in Mexico and extending his advantage in Brazil. A setup error led to both McLarens being disqualified in Las Vegas due to a technical regulations breach, leaving Verstappen level on points with Piastri and just two races behind Norris. In the closing rounds, Verstappen won in Qatar ahead of Piastri, while Norris finished fourth, setting up a three-driver showdown at Abu Dhabi. Verstappen won again in the finale, beating Piastri, but Norris claimed the final podium position and secured his maiden Drivers’ Championship by just two points.

    Overall, the McLaren MCL39 earned fourteen wins, twenty further podiums, thirteen pole positions and twelve fastest laps, scoring 833 points and securing McLaren a second successive World Constructors’ Championship and a first World Drivers’ Championship since 2008. Both Norris and Piastri enjoyed their best seasons in Formula 1 to date, the former winning the Drivers’ title with 423 points, whilst Piastri claimed third in the standings with 410 points respectively.

    2025 Australian Grand Prix Race Report

    This fine race weathered model of the McLaren MCL39 precisely replicates the #4 car raced to victory by Lando Norris in the Louis Vuitton Australian Grand Prix at Albert Park Circuit on the 16th of March 2025. Norris converted his pole position into a commanding performance in the season-opening Australian Grand Prix, a race defined by changing weather, multiple Safety Cars, and late-race showers. After an aborted start caused by Isack Hadjar spinning on the formation lap, Norris got away cleanly to maintain the lead into Turn 1, fending off challenges from Red Bull’s Max Verstappen and his McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri. A Safety Car was deployed almost immediately when Jack Doohan crashed his Alpine, and at the subsequent restart, Norris pulled away from Verstappen, who himself eventually ran wide allowing Piastri to reclaim second. By Lap 25, Norris’ lead over Piastri stood at just under two seconds, while Verstappen was already around ten seconds behind. After navigating backmarker traffic, the McLarens were free to race, though Piastri soon ran wide at Turn 6 and dropped three seconds. Further drama unfolded on lap 34 when Fernando Alonso crashed heavily, prompting another Safety Car and a flurry of pit stops. At the end of Lap 41, Norris managed the restart perfectly to retain his lead over Piastri and Verstappen.

    As the race entered its closing stages, late rainfall on lap 44 caused both McLarens to briefly leave the track and over the grass at Turn 12. Norris remained unscathed and immediately pitted for intermediates, Piastri agonisingly ending up rearwards in the Turn 13 run-off. Verstappen stayed out for two more laps before also switching to inters, creating renewed pressure for the leader. A final Safety Car period, prompted by accidents for Gabriel Bortoleto and Liam Lawson, regrouped the field for a tense final battle to the flag. Norris expertly held position through the restart, fending off Verstappen’s late charge. In the final laps, Norris maintained composure and crossed the line to claim his fifth career victory, marking McLaren’s first Australian Grand Prix win since 2012. Piastri mounted a late recovery to finish ninth, overtaking Lewis Hamilton. Norris and McLaren had delivered a commanding start to the 2025 season.

    The McLaren MCL39 is limited to just 39 race weathered pieces at 1:18 scale.

    Note: This is a 'Kerbside' model and does not feature any moving parts.

    Impressed so far
    Style: Standard Grip, Size: 25ft, Color: Chartreuse
    I have a large back yard, a pool and a stationary hose reel bolted to the house that holds around 250 feet of hose (depending on the hose). During the summer especially, we use this hose a lot. The reel had 200 feet of pretty good quality, heavy duty residential hose on it. That hose lasted over 20 years but was starting to show it's age and had been repaired several times. What's more, my wife hated the stuff. Her primary complaint was how heavy it was. She really struggled to drag it around the yard or wind it back on the reel. So it was time to replace it. My criteria: brass fittings, reasonably heavy duty and durable, decent price. Her criteria, lighter! So I searched the reviews and looked at damn near everything amazon sells and picked this stuff. I ended up buying two 50 foot hoses and one 100 foot hose. So, here's what I think. The hose ends are heavy duty brass and well crimped. The little bits of plastic sleeve on each end are just branding and don't provide any other useful purpose. This isn't a criticism, just an observation. I cut them off. As others have mentioned, the female fittings are crimped a little tight. This makes it somewhat difficult to tighten them without twisting the hose. I put a little white lithium grease on mine and held the things in my hand - twisting back and forth until they lubed up and loosened up. No harm, no foul, I'd rather a little tight than loose. Once that was done, I connected all the sections and stretched the whole thing out in the yard. I connected one end to the faucet (hose reel), slapped a nozzle on the other end and turned on the water. It was a warm summer day, I let the hose fill with water and then went down the entire 200 foot length untwisting and straightening it all out. Then I left it bake in the sun for a couple hours under pressure. After that I turned off the water, and started inspecting the hose. I have about 80lbs of water pressure, left under pressure and cooking in the sun, the hose definitely swelled a little diameter wise, but no bulges or anything untoward. Connections all looked good, no leaks or malfunctions. So, I turned off the water and took off the nozzle and started winding it up on the reel. Now right away I could tell that this stuff was more pliable and significantly lighter then the hose it replaced. I carefully spooled it up on the reel and threaded a brass shutoff and brass quick connector on the end. That was the middle of June, 2023. It's now December 2023. The verdict. I like the stuff, and more importantly, so does my wife. From my perspective, I like the color, it's easy to see and find in the grass, I don't trip over it or worry about not seeing it before I run over it while cutting the grass (you can laugh, but that accounted for one of the previous "repairs" I mentioned earlier). Now, when you pull hose off a reel, it tends to come off pretty straight, which automatically alleviates a bunch of twisting and kinking issues. Still, as you drag this stuff around the yard it keeps its shape pretty well and doesn't twist up or kink. It's flexible and yet "stiff" enough to drag around corners without issue. The hose itself has definitely faded a little colorwise, the end that gets the most use is less orange then the hose that spends most of its time wrapped on the reel, but not unduly so. After a summer of use, I'd have to say it's held up well, without any signs of terminal wear and tear. What does my wife think? She loves the stuff. It's much easier for her to use and wind back up. She really is the primary user, she does 90% of the pool "stuff", plant tending, gardening and watering. If she likes it, I'm good. So, we'll see, in a couple more years, if this hose doesn't hold up, I'll come back and let you know. For now I'd have to say, if you need a new hose, try this stuff.

    Great hose!
    Style: Standard Grip, Size: 100ft, Color: Chartreuse
    5 stars without hesitation. This Flexzilla Garden Hose 5/8 in. x 100 ft. is legitimately one of the best hoses I’ve used. It’s actually flexible like advertised, doesn’t fight you every time you move it around, and it feels way more durable than the cheap stiff hoses from big box stores. I honestly don’t understand a lot of the complaints, mine has held up great, doesn’t kink nearly as bad as others I’ve owned, and is super easy to coil up. Solid hose.

    If you want to buy your last hose then flexzilla is your hose.
    Style: Standard Grip, Size: 50ft, Color: Chartreuse
    O.K. if you are reading my review I can honestly say that I don't think anyone knows what they are buying with this hose like I do as Amazon has the record of when I bought 100 feet of this hose. Long Long Long term user=purchased in 2017. I used this hose today and it looks-feels-works like it did the day I hooked it up on my reel. So flexible you can use it for a tourniquet if required. Hot-cold it don't matter this hose is the best. I am 70 yrs. old and it is the best hose I ever used in my life. Buy this hose once and then be done. Never kinks and not to heavy when moving around. Buy some and get on with whatever work you need to wash and then roll it up and forget about it.

    Hose kinks.
    Style: Standard Grip, Size: 100ft, Color: Chartreuse
    I bought this hose 2 months ago and really like how light it is and easy to pull around the yard. However, I am having a problem with it kinking all of the time. It is really frustrating to have to go back and straighten it out when I am watering.
