Gluebomber Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 This is the Tamiya 1/20 Lotus 99T backdated to Senna's ride in 1986 using the Museum Collection decals. The build is otherwise box stock. Paint is Tamiya spray decanted and airbrushed. All comments, positive and negative, are welcome. Thanks for looking!

Gluebomber Posted September 19, 2014 Author Share Posted September 19, 2014 Thanks for the kind words, Guys. Michael, the Tamiya kit represents the Lotus Honda 99T. It has a yellow scheme with Camel sponsor markings. Other than that, the exterior was identical to the 98T, so the only thing I changed to represent the previous year's car was to paint it black and add the JPS decals. Joe, unfortunately this one is a "curbside". The 99T used a Honda engine but the 98T Lotus was powered by Renault. The kit valve covers are engraved with "Honda" and I'm sure there are other differences between the engines. Rather than try to accurately represent the Reanult engne, I just left the rear of the car buttoned up. Thanks again for the comments and questions.

Daddyfink Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Very nice build! Has to be one of the coolest paint schemes ever put on a race car! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a pile of F1 and anyway to get some variety is good with me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shardik Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 I've always loved the JPS paint scheme, and you have seriously done it justice here. That black looks as smooth as glass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
