Kit reviews

Here you will find some infos on kits, especially 1/20 Formula One resin kits.



Footwork FA13 by Modeler's

E-mail Print PDF

This is an out-of-production plastic kit made by Modeler's.
The FA13 was not particular successful. But this is one of the rare 1/20 plastic injection kits not made by Tamiya.

This kit has many many parts to build a detailed version of the car including the Mugen/Honda engine.
The quality seems almost on Tamiya level, but some components of the car are completely missing, i.e. the intake trumpet...

Kit data
Media: Plastic, rubber tires, decal sheet (Cartograph)
Scale: 1/20
Origin: Japan
Issue Price: 2000 yen
Item code: 5007

Lotus 109 Mugen/Honda

E-mail Print PDF

This is a resin transkit made by Japanese modeler "Shunko".
It was sold through Japanese Yahoo!Auctions and is also available at Auto Modeler's Cafe.

Obviously, this transkit was made with a Tamiya 107B as base...

This kit needs parts of the Tamiya Lotus 107B and also the Museum Collection Lotus 107C/109 decal sheet to complete.
The quality of the resin is not as crisp as recent Studio27 kits, but I think at least as good as the MOA Lotus 100T transkit.

Kit data
Media: Resin, white metal
Scale: 1/20
Origin: Japan
Issue Price: 13800 yen (Yahoo!Japan auction)

This is a Japanese resin transkit made by Thumb creation.
There were probably more resin transkits of this particular subject which all have the same source...
It is out of production (as usual :-) ).
It needs a Tamiya Lotus 102B as donor. Only resin parts are there.

Kit data

Lotus 101 Judd by Modeler's

E-mail Print PDF

This is a Japanese resin kit made by the usual garage kit makers, in this case Modeler's.
As far as I know, this is the only 1/20th scale full kit available for this particular subject.
It is out of production and therefore very rare.
I have a started kit, which has some minor work done on the body and the gearbox/rear suspension test fitted.

Kit data
Media: Resin, White metal, PE, decal sheet, rubber tires
Scale: 1/20
Origin: Japan
Issue Price: 9800 yen

Lotus 100T Honda by Modeler's

E-mail Print PDF

This is a Japanese resin kit made by Modeler's.
It is out of production because Modeler's doesn't produce F1 kits anymore.
This is by far the best 100T kit has very good casting and sharp panel lines. Also a nice PE fret is supplied.

Kit data
Media: Resin, White metal, PE, decal sheet, rubber tires
Scale: 1/20
Origin: Japan
Issue Price: 14800 yen
