Lotus 99TB - Camel Livery Removed - Model Factory Hiro

Post by pbrowne »

Looking at the Model Factory Hiro 1/20 Lotus 99TB, the livery is Lotus, not Camel.

This is for the 1987 Japanese GP, where tobacco sponsorship was allowed. This is Senna at the Japanese GP in '87:

I don't see the Camel livery included in the kit, at least not displayed on their site...

I bet the decals are included ;)
They never show up Tobacco signs cause by license things, but be sure, they are included.
Take a stand!

If buying direct, the full livery should be included. If buying via a retailer, its more sketchy.

I own this kit. The decals are hidden on the underside of the inner cardboard. Didn't find it right away either.
