For anyone wondering, according to the description on Spotmodels, the tobacco decals are in the detail kit not in the basic kit.

Re: PLASTIC Upcoming F1 Releases 2023
I am definitely buying a 99T even if I built the 1/20 Tamiya kit some years ago. With the detailing set, it is still little more than half the cost of the MFH 97T and 98T.
However I am surprised that the box looks so obviously a copy of the Tamiya style. My F641 even has "vintage selection" written on the cover in the same location, colour and typeface!
What is going on here? Is Beemax in some way related to Tamiya these days or do they just think that the big T will be happy with another firm copying their style in this way?
The subject sells itself really so I dont think they would NEED to copy Tamiya to ensure plenty of sales!
I would be fascinated for any insight here.
Thank you

I am buying it as well. Here's hoping we can get the JPS Lotus 97/98 as well.

I'll be doing decals to convert 99T to 98T, just need to fit them to the model and have them printed. Not the real deal, but who knows...
With 3D guys popping up, i'm sure someone will do the engine too.

Note that Eric Evan seems to be doing a Lotus 99T buildup on his pages...

Hello. It's not my built, it's pictures coming from Nunu factory. The kit is built by a very young modeler of 20 year.
