WIP 1/12 MFH Lotus 99T, updated 2/17/2024

Post by Sennafan »

Here goes another one

Had to have this for my Senna connection

All prepped and painted per my usual process, used a magnetic tumbler to polish all parts

As a deviation to prior builds I painted all the radiators in aluminum per the real car

Body and wings in TS34 camel yellow

More metallic shades, TS have a new color that is perfect fir these brakes, titanium gold

As usual nice wheels and tires, no aluminum this time

Body and monocoque, CF decals provided for mono, none for pan?? MFH need to figure out their CF decals, they are all over the place in every F1 kit

Rear suspension built and painted

Quick mock up

Parts fit checked during gluing these sub assemblies

Very impressive build by a great model. I have the A. verse. I'm already looking forward to the next pictures. Everything looks very clean, as usual. I'm definitely there.
Keep it up then that will be an excellent model.

Very nice indeed, I know we all like the black Lotus cars but there was something about the yellow 99T. Looking forward to the next update.
