Re: Tamiya 99T>98T Conversion

Actually, you're in a spot of luck since Tamiya modelled an early season car for the 99T, before Lotus changed the front & rear wing end plates. Therefore you can confidently model a 98T, w/out mods, OOB - however the rims are not exactly right. Ploughing through my Roebuck F1 book for '85 seems to show pretty much the same wing layout for most of the season - rear vanes aside, which of course are race specific.
There was a store in the states (scale race cars?) had an a/m set of rims on their site as coming soon for some time, but a no show I believe.
