Tamiya 1987 Lotus Honda 99T F1

Here's a little more F1 love. Finished this a few nights ago. This is my first model I've built since I was a kid, and I think it turned out well.

Good to see an F1 with proper decals.

F1 gets love here, and let me be the first to give this build some.

I'm liking it. Nice paint and decal work. ULTRA clean assembly. First in how long?

Glad to have you back

Thanks guys

It's my first since probably junior high, so about 10 years . And I wasn't exactly doing my best at the time lol

Another well done F1 car, I'm really getting the urge now.

Nice work....and I agree with Foxer, the Camel decals make a huge difference. I built that one a while ago....so long ago that the Tamiya decals in the kit had the Camel logos and the Lotus logos. Not so today. Very clean build and your yellow looks just like the Camel yellow....good match. The yellow stands out nice, but those Lotus's always looked better, my opinion, in the John Player Special Black and Gold (biscuit). Always great to see these F1 cars coming out of hiding. Well done.

Looks like you never stopped modeling. You did an excellent job. Keep it up.

[Danno]

Very good.

Thanks for the kind words everyone!

I totally agree with you, the JPS is one of my all time favorites behind the Day Glow Orange Mclarens. Just gives me goosebumps In fact I have already decided to eventually pick up another one of these kits and make the JPS 98T

Edit: That's interesting. I didn't know that about the Camel decals. I guess my kit must have been an older version because mine also had both sets.
