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 !
Cheers,

Re: 1/12 Lotus 99t NUNU
What are the chances we might get logo printed tires, now that it's come a long way ?

Re: 1/12 Lotus 99t NUNU
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.
