I watched my reference pictures and wonder which GP specification the car might be, now i wonder even more cause i can`t find any picture with that rear wing configuration. The car never run a "double" wing setup like shown here.
Also i wonder about the tires, will it be rain tires like in the rendering (which also need a tiny re shaping) or slicks? Rain tires would suggest Monaco GP maybe, but the rear wing does not fit Monaco setup.

I had the similar question about MENG MP4/4. The sidepods looked very square at front which I thought indicated an early season race.

According to the announcement: monaco gp 1988 in two configurations!!!
Judging models on photos and blaming me for mention problems on the real model!! (Wet and dry sanding solves all problems on the beemax 99T)
Welcome to world useful forum!

Wet configuration during the thusday free practice
Dry configuration for race.

Beemax show the rain configuration on a test shot with dry tyres.....

Thank`s Thorsten, now it`s starting to make sence, have not seen these announcement till now, i watched the sunday race pictures. Hopefully they re-work the rain tires too cause the rendering leaves wishes open.

One of the early 3d pics shows rain tyre - i'm ot sure if they look right...

Sunday warm-up - race configuration with wet tires

Design is looking really nice.

The front ones looking good, the tiny mistake is in the middle of the rear tires, S-shaped on the original ones and square blocks on the rendering.
Hope they stumble over that detail before going into production.

Want to ask given a choice what kit would be better the Beemax or the MENG? OR what other MP4/4 option would be best?
I haven't built a MENG or Beemax kit before.

The MFH kit is spectacular. It would not be a good as a first MFH kit but it is a very enjoyable build and is very buildable.
