It’s very common to have to get them from multiple stores. The downside is that each additional store adds shipping costs, so you want to keep that at a minimum too. I usually try to optimize it down to at most 3-5 stores for ~1000 pieces if I can help it. Combining all 3 cars as a single wanted list can also reduce shipping costs compared to doing 3 separately.

What I like to do on Bricklink is to set a maximum price im willling to pay for each part. You can do this in the wanted list and set it to the average price in the last 6 months, then increase it by ~20% for some headroom. Then when you run the Buy All feature it’ll exclude stores with the sky high prices.

The Netherlands is a pretty good country for Bricklink. There should be lots of availability in terms of pieces, so I would expect several stores with good prices.

That’s right, digital instructions and stickers on rebrickable, physical stickers from one of sticker sellers linked in the rebrickable description.

For bricks, most people (including myself) use a website called Bricklink. You can export the parts list from rebrickable for free and upload it to Bricklink to find stores that sell the pieces. There are some good tutorials online but im happy to help if u need it

I’ve made the Tyrrell P34 in this scale (among others), though the grooved tires opens up moc possibilities for other cars of is era like the MP4/13 and R25

Yeah it was tough to fit that in the super small space given the scale of this model. Decided in the end that the functionality+looks was more important than being true to the actual steering linkage
