The first thing one must note is that the Tamiya kit although very well designed and a great kit is only good for the first three rounds (Brazil, San Marino, and Belgium).

Hi ,

Probably getting a Tamiya 99Tsoon, and money(and wife)permitting, I will try one of the S27 sets too. So thanks so much for the big effort of explaining and posting pictures. Extremely useful, I had no idea S27 put out so many different sets for the T99.

I am really humbled by these comments. I wasn't expecting much of a response other than a few people, but I am glad it has helped several people out. I did make another small edit to fix a couple of things. I am also in the middle of remodeling my hobby room since I basically am doing the rest of the upstairs since we are adding a nursery. Before I started, I took out one of my 99T kits and got several of the items together so that when I am ready to sit at the bench again, I can get to work on one of the first three rounds. I do plan on eventually doing all of the versions as the 99T is my absolute favorite F1. Hope everyone has a great holiday season!
