Re: PLASTIC Upcoming F1 Releases 2023

Re: PLASTIC Upcoming F1 Releases 2023

I'll be doing decals to convert 99T to 98T, just need to fit them to the model and have them printed. Not the real deal, but who knows...

Re: 1/12 Lotus 99t NUNU

7 holes per wheel * 4 wheels = 28 areas that need touching up/down
