1:64 ALPHATAURI F1 AT04 #22 YUKI TSUNODA AUSTRALIAN GP 2023

The real subject

The AT04 is the Formula 1 car with which the AlphaTauri team ran the 2023 season. Behind the wheel of the machine with race number 22 sat Yuki Tsunoda. The model captures the form of the car for the Australian Grand Prix, that is for the race run on the circuit in a Melbourne park. Cars of this period are recognized by their bulky enclosed wheels and by the floor, which generates a large part of the downforce under the car.

A model in 1:64 scale

Real Formula 1 cars measure around five and a half meters, so the model comes out at roughly nine centimeters. In 1:64 a whole starting grid can be put together without the collection outgrowing a single shelf, and that is exactly why this scale holds its place among collectors of racing cars. A small scale also puts the emphasis on the printing: on a Formula 1 car most of the appearance is made up of the color scheme and the lettering rather than of details of shape.

Form and packaging

• The colors and markings correspond to one particular race of the 2023 season.
• Race number 22 belongs to the driver named in the product name.
• The qualifier in the name distinguishes one of two forms of packaging of the same model.
• Collectors who display cars in their original boxes set store by that distinction.

Terms of supply

The model is supplied finished, intended for display, unless stated otherwise. A display case and further accessories are not included in the box. It is not a toy; the fine printing and the small parts will take only careful handling.
