Lotus 95T #12 Nigel Mansell

Description

The Lotus 95T was another enjoyable project built from the 1/43 scale range by Tameo Kits.

This was my first experience building a Formula One car in the iconic John Player Special livery. Compared with modern Formula One machines, the simple black-and-gold color scheme and the relatively uncluttered sponsor graphics create an elegant design that has remained timeless.

Throughout the build, I focused on achieving a clean finish that would highlight the distinctive proportions and beautiful lines of the Lotus 95T. Sometimes, simplicity demands even greater precision, and this project reminded me how important careful preparation and painting are in creating a convincing model.

After completing the model, I was honored to receive a request from Mr. Tameo to provide photographs of the finished work. The model was subsequently featured on the official Tameo Kits website, making it another memorable project in my collaboration with Tameo Kits.
