Oww, there's lots of room for improvement on that decal sheet it seems (bad designed decals are common problem on recent 1/12 car kits, Magnifiers GT40 for instance springs to mind, they're really bad).
Sheet is also missing camel logos, so some aftermarket company will have to source correct shade of blue used on the sheet to bring fill in sets. Or will Nunu add these on seperate sheet not visible for ciggie logo hunters?

Anyway, i will not be doing the fill ins for this car, I never liked the yellow/blue combo and i only do things i like myself.
And so: I'll bring a decal set to backdate the 99T to 98T. Maybe someone else will offer correct engine for that conversion? Should make a better looking combo me thinks.

Well, it looks more like a reality everyday. I am sure there will be decals from the usual suspects.

I'll be in Japan in mid April, if I see it there I'm not making the mistake I did last time with the Mazda 787 and buying it in case there are issues getting it here in the US!

Here's the YouTube of a review by "Fat Frog / hobbyeasy."
Looks to have too many moulded in parys for such a big scale.

Box Artwork - Look familiar :?:

Bee Max must have had a good look at Tamiya's 1/12 F190 & FW14B box art for inspiration :lol:
Even down to the 'Vintage Selection'.

I don't mind as long as it actually gets released 20th March.

I wouldn't be surprise if this kit development has some "Tamiya DNA".
