Description

Model Team means building first

The Model Team range was aimed at builders who wanted more detail and a more demanding build. Sets from it come without minifigures and rely on the finished model. Magic Flash follows that approach: 787 pieces, no figures, and a result better suited to display than to being pushed around the playroom carpet. That makes the set mainly interesting for adults and older children who enjoy the process of putting something detailed together and are happy to invest the time it takes.

A colour mix with contrast

The main colours are black, light grey, red and yellow. Black and light grey form the base, while red and yellow add strong accents that bring the finished model to life. With 146 different elements the variety of parts is high, which suggests plenty of fine detail and special pieces. Builders who enjoy this kind of set value that variety, because it keeps the build interesting and the end result rich in detail. At 787 pieces the set is also big enough for a whole building evening without becoming a marathon.

The parts list as a test

The parts list on this page names every element with colour and quantity. It is useful if you are buying a second-hand set or restoring an old model. With nearly 800 pieces and so many different elements, a proper comparison is worth the effort. You can see early on whether important special parts are missing and which colours to keep in mind when searching for replacements or planning a rebuild. Shades of grey are easy to mix up on old bricks, so the exact colour name helps.

Reusing the pieces

Even if you do not plan to rebuild Magic Flash, the pieces stay useful. “What can I build?” shows which other models come out of your own stock combined with this set. The amount of black and light grey suits vehicles, buildings and machines alike. A Model Team set is therefore not only a collector's piece but also a sizeable supply of parts for your own creations, where you can try vehicles in other colours or entirely new constructions.
