Briggers Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 As the title says its the Tamiya Lotus 99T. I'm not one for fine detailing things(dont have the skill yet), so to spice things up a bit i bought the Studio 27 Carbon decal set, a set of Camel decals (because they never look right without the ciggie ones) and a Goodyear tyre stencil to spray onto the tyres for that little bit of authenticity Really nice kit to build, except for the rear wing causing me massive problems. It cant be completely built and then attached to the engine it has to be built onto the engine so i had to part build it, spray then try and attach to the engine. When glue and paint mix you know what happens then once fitted i noticed it was wonky so i had to break it apart and have another go making even more mess with the glue. Doesnt notice too much in the photos but can be seen slightly on the inside of the end plates. The silver paint on the "Honda" on the engine isnt great either, im just no good at fine details that small I used all Tamiya paints and body was sprayed using Tamiya rattle cans. Hope you enjoy, thanks for looking. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bar side Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 They have a real 99t hanging from the ceiling of the conference centre at Hethel - had a meeting there once & couldn't help but get distracted. Nice build. Did one of these the year it came out as a kit - probably 1988! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
