McLaren Mastercard F1® Team Oscar Piastri Helmet (LEGO 43017)

About this set

LEGO 43017 is part of the LEGO Editions line and recreates Oscar Piastri's McLaren Formula 1 Team helmet, with the box marked McLaren Formula 1 Team and Editions. It comes in at 793 pieces and a 4/5 difficulty. The finished model uses blue, orange, black, white and red to build up the shell, with a transparent orange visor at the front, all sitting on a display base. A minifigure is included, and the base carries the number 81 and a signature plate. When building, sort by color first, assemble the blue and orange curved shell before fitting the visor, and handle the clear visor last since it picks up fingerprints easily. The base-to-helmet connection is dense, so line up the studs before pressing down. At 4/5 the curved sections and visor fitting take real time, so newcomers may want to start with the base to find the rhythm. It suits F1 fans, Piastri supporters and LEGO builders who like compact display pieces.
