Meng Mclaren MP4/4 1988 in 1/12th coming in July 2023 Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
It's a great time to be a 1/12 scale F1 modeler with Meng's forthcoming kit and Beemax / Nunu also doing the MP4/4 as the Monaco car with slicks and wets and alternate wings. Hopefully a little quicker to the marketplace than the glacial speed of the Lotus 99t release. LOL. BTW, for anyone wondering about baccy decals for the Lotus they are in the detail kit not the basic kit.
Hiro 1/12th June release second clue. Still something red, but I don't think a Ferrari this time?? Image Unavailable, Please Login
Another exceptional model maker I follow on YouTube is Kenji. The additional features he is incorporating into his current plastic kit Lotus Esprit build like functional electric opening and closing headlights and fully opening doors and truck are amazing. The skills shown to make his motorcycle GP rider from scratch shows he is a true sculptural artist as well as a model maker. https://www.youtube.com/@kenji-pm Enjoy...
I believe Ottomobile and GT Spirit are sister companies? GT Spirit already has made kits, but in 1/18th scale. I bought the 348 GTB to use as a base for the 348 TBf. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Hiro June 1/12th is a Brabham Alfa BT45. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Since the BT45 used airboxes of several shapes and later, none at all, I expect there will be more versions of this kit.
