Description

This is a racing car model kit assembled from parts made of resin, white metal, photo-etched metal and possibly other materials.

The year is 1986. The “Ace” in the previous season, de Angelis left the team, making A. Senna the No. 1 driver from every aspect. Now a glorious kit of the machine driven by Senna in the 1986 season, LOTUS TYPE 98T, is presented in lovingly large 1/12 scale from MFH!

■The 98T was designed by Gerard Ducarouge, who achieved great results in the previous designs. The 98T was based on the previous model 97T and installed with the Renault turbo engine and with improved aerodynamics to utilize the power of the engine. The shape of the rear cowl part was changed and to be integrated with the side parts, front wing changed to straight type, and the side of the diffuser had been also cut. The shape of monocoque, rear suspension design, transmission, engine champer, intercooler, and radiator etc. are updated in 98T.

■Together with the transforming to 1/12 scale, the shape of parts had been reviewed and newly designed. 

■This kit includes the V6 engine, the pioneer of installing turbo in the F1 engine, with the unique mechanism.

■The wheel rim are made of aluminium, the wheel dish are made of aluminium and coated with almite gold color. (However in the Hungarian GP version--MFHK441, linked below--where the team changed to use the dish made by Dymag in the second half of the season, the kit will also include this change including the color from gold to black.)

■The carbon pattern will be reproduced by a carbon patterened silk-screen printed decal sheet.

■This kit is a multi material kit. Various pipings, tubes, mesh hose, etc are included.

■The under plate is a large photo etch piece, to increase the level of reality and the texture.

■The cowl is attached by screw and can be easily detached to review the interior parts.

Ver.A :1986 Rd.2 Spanish GP / Rd.7 U.S. GP: This version is based on Round 2 Spanish GP and Round 7 U.S. GP, which A. Senna won both races. 4 pieces of flap rear wings, and the front brake duct are the characteristics of this version.
