Using Google Translate, it came up as "2nd decision" which makes me think they're saying its their 2nd 1/12th scale car.

Maybe I can use it for this... :wink:

I’m super pumped about a 1/12 MP4/4 in plastic. I got into F1 around 1991 (aged 14), so my preference is cars from about 1989 to mid 2000s. However, over time, I started to watch races from the 1980s and I began to appreciate the era, even though I never saw races in real time. Obviously- the MP4/4 is one of the most successful cars ever, so I bought the Tamiya 1/20 MP4/4 and Top Studio set with plans to build it in the future (still on hold). Because it wasn’t a “must” for me, I never bought the MFH 1/12 version. It simply was more than I wanted to spend on a project that I’m not that “emotionally attached” to. However, if there is a 1/12 option in plastic that was 40%-50% of the cost, I’m all on board. Might even get 2.

Oh my ...

Should I sell my MFH MP4/4 1/12 already ? (not started)

That is wonderful news guys, wonderful :D :D :D

I'm “emotionally attached” to that car, I'll buy it of course, maybe 2.

And I'm pretty pleased all aftermarket guys would make new add-ons (decals and so on) :)
cheers

It simply means that the decision for the 2nd model in 1/12 was made on the MP4/4. Construction has already begun... ;)

Hobby Link Japan says the Lotus 99T going to be in August, which is when I'm somewhat expecting it. I think we have certain shops putting up dates looking to get pre-orders when they aren't 100% positive about the date.
