Well, i assume someone has the test shots of this kit for the detail/decal sets.
I would call it simple mathe depending on the price and the other sets they offer.....

Looks even better by that new info. Hard plastic parts for suspension. Even some metal parts. Should be wonderful base for super detail projects.
No Camel decals, it seems.

I wouldn't expect the camel decals, but yes, I saw some metal pieces here and there and the harder plastic, I already have my pre-order in !

It's Ayrton's car, it's 1/12, it's a good manufacturer,

I'm all in !

What are the chances we might get logo printed tires, now that it's come a long way ?

You are so right, James !!! For an authentic look, only a properly applied stencil job is accurate. The tires were down right shitty in those days, sometimes applied by crew members. The way I got it, from being at the track then as a working motorsports shooter, Leo Mehl, Goodyear's ambassador to racing in the day, visited a nascar race in '92 and saw what a shambles the tires sidewalls were. This was Goodyear's advertising space to the watching world, and it was not being utilized very well at all ! He instrumented a cleanup program immediately ! Sooooooooooooooooooooooo, in 1993, Goodyear started printing their logos on the racing tires, and to commemorate the change, made them yellow, just to get a little extra attention. I remember the talk around the Indycar and F1 paddocks in '92, that Leo was incensed and a change was coming.

So, again, ...you are so right James ! Stencil.
