It took some time, but I have finally time for LEGO again. So let's continue the 42204 Le Mans race car.

Looking for proper shapes.

Time to mount these wheels. I have bought over tw Time to mount these wheels.

I have bought over twenty 4267 tires, which were used in 13 sets from 1982 to 1992. But there is much less Yellow wheels in decent condition than tires on the market, so some alternates were needed :)

From my experience, two wheels fit.

18+ Speed Champions sets. But only two out of te 18+ Speed Champions sets. 

But only two out of ten. That's a complete nonsense, because for example Kick can be used as streaming platform by people under 18+ only with permission from parents, and that set is still 10+.

These Trans Clear panels are not that bad if placed on different angle.

This might take a while, but there's a potential in this sketch.

42205 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray 732 pieces for 42205 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray

732 pieces for £54.99/$59.99/€59.99

This is the second Chevrolet Corvette made in this scale by LEGO. First one, 42093 paved the way for whole series of mid scale cars.

As usual details were made with stickers, including front lights. As I mentioned above I don't know what to think about that, brick built lights might be better, but would be hard to incorporate to look good.

But exhaust pipes should be brick built, here are made with stickers. Eh.

The standard Yellow color, widely used in Technic heavy equipment, fits this car well. There's a rumour about 42217, same model as this but in blue colour. Might look awesome.

There's a small piece introduced, which will makeva revolution in making V-type engines. The "Frankenstein connector", that looks like few connectors glued together. That's a major upgrade, thanks to just two pieces complete V engine can be placed on frame without need to block the parts on something inside the model.
There are also few recolours, and one part, flexible axle 11 came back after 22 years.

From mechanical perspective it's the best steering for this scale - gear rack and knob on the roof. Previous steering solutions, like 42161 using axle connector was worse.

The bodywork, except doors, is very eye catching. Many smooth curves and less holes in bodywork than usual. I don't like the usage of Red pins instead of Dark Bluish Grey ones. Might blend better.

The doors mentioned above look odd. Really odd. And are made in a way that while opening might collide with bodywork.

That's the only mid scale car that I'd buy again to put on shelf.

42204 Fast & Furious Toyota Supra MK4 810 pieces 42204 Fast & Furious Toyota Supra MK4

810 pieces for £54.99/$59.99/€59.99

Another set that uses license to tell customer what's on the box. It's not as bad as 42093, but it's far from being properly shaped either.

As usual, it could be a cool "sport car" without licensed badge, but if box says that's a TOYOTA SUPRA one might expect that it will be at least similiar.

From technical perspective, it's more or less standard medium scale Technic chassis. Standard rigid frame, fake engine driven by differential and steering with knob on the roof. This time steering is built bit different, with steering shaft going to the gear rack on the side of the engine (similiar to 42098 muscle car).

This set introduces two new parts - wider panel and new connector.

As in 42093, front lights are made with Trans Clear pieces. And they look odd. Frosted finish on these panels add steamed look to them. Rear lights are stickers. Eh.

Trunk, bonnet and doors open. Not too much to see after opening them, but that's something.
As in the movie, part of the roof can be detached. But instructions don't show where we can put it. Barely fits into trunk - can't be fully closed.

There are two printed pieces - both rear wheel arches. Rest of the small details are stickers. 
Funny thing is that real Supra had several manufacturers stickers on whole bodywork, they are missing here - I guess licensing was too pricey :)

And last thing - the iconic drag race from the movie can't be recreated with official LEGO models. 42111 Dom's Charger is almost twice bigger than this Supra. Why LEGO can't make something in same scale for once?

For me it's a great parts pack, but very poor representation of iconic car from F&F.
