Model Factory Hiro K838 1/12 LOTUS TYPE 100T 1988 Rd.1 Brazilian GP #1 N.Piquet / #2 S.Nakajima

This is a multi-media model kit that includes sharp resin-cast bodies, rubber tyres (wet tyres), and other white metal, resin & photo-etched parts, decals and easy-to-follow instructions in English.

- A 1/12 scale fully detailed kit based on the Lotus Type 100T - powered by the Honda V6 engine and driven by N. Piquet, the reigning World Champion who transferred from the Williams team, and S. Nakajima, who was in his second year in the F1 scene.
- A fully detailed, multi-material kit featuring white metal, resin, etching, turned parts, rubber parts, silk screen decals, and various cords allowing for maximum representation of the original vehicle.
- Based on the build used at the Brazilian GP, the opening race of the 1988 season, where Piquet took 3rd place and Nakajima took 6th. This was the same year the race track used for the Brazilian GP, "Jacarepagua" (located in Piquet's hometown of Rio), was renamed to "Autodromo Internacional Nelson Piquet" in celebration of Piquet's third World Championship win in 1987.
- Parts layout around the turbo area that differs from the later build of the car has been faithfully recreated, along with differences in side mirrors, windshields, and headrests between drivers.
- Aluminum turned parts are used for the wheel rims. Various materials are used for piping and tubing, allowing for a more realistic finish.
- Carbon decals included for the monocoque and parts of the chassis.
- The real cowl can be removed post-construction, allowing a full view of the detailed interior after completion.
- ECU (Engine Control Unit) parts made using 3D printing, allowing for a detailed interior finish. Accessories that can be used for pit scenes, such as a lap chart board, battery, handy printer, etc., are also included.
