Hey guys, it’s been a while since I last made a model kit. This is the latest model, Tamiya Lotus 107B Ford. This kit is an old school kit as it was out in the 90s. The version I made here is Johnny Herbert’s version.
Actually I have finished this kit a week or two ago but I didn’t have the time nor the feel to do some photo shoot on this kit. The paint I used here is only white spray paint and I used a brand that is not Tamiya to spray this.
The parts are fine as the mold fits well. Since this kit came out in the 90s, looks as though that it does not come with a masking for the Castrol green area along with another green and yellow at the nose cone and the side of the cowling and the monocoque. The only gripe I have here is since that is the old school kit, the decals here are so brittle. Cause I almost damaged the dark green decal at the bottom part of the nose cone. Glad at least it is not obvious unless someone wants to see the underneath part. Another is, I keep on wondering, why do they provide the decal for the front wing rather than suggesting the colour for us to paint. How I wish that they can just give us the suggested colour for us to paint rather than using the decal which makes the kit looks kind of awkward. You can also see the same for the Castrol green area especially near where the air intake is.
