Fenix 

Team Lotus 49

 

Rev. 0.1 

Please note

Classique is not the usual rc model car. The assembly procedure, although very simple, 

is a little unusual, being the body “part” of the car.  
So,  please,  read  the  manual  before  start  the  assembly.  Body  should  be  painted  before  the 
installation. 

 

 

 

 
Best solution for painting the Classic Team Lotus 49, is rely over Lexan Tamiya PS- colours. As usual, wash the 
body with warm water, using a drop of dish soap. 
Remind to paint darker colours first, and clear colours later. Best is start with the motor area. A good masking 
tape like Tamiya 87034 will help you. 
The iconic yellow stripe is provided in the decal sheet, so you can just paint the body using the Tamiya PS22 
Racing green. Remember to mask  the  body cowl, later you can choose to leave  it clear or paint it with a 
transparent yellow such as the Tamiya PS42.
