Fifer Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Well , after a long time and a lot of cussing this kit , it is finally finished. Not proud of the hand cut out wind screen but it is OK and mirrors were a bitch. Here she is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Looks great to me ! I can't handle those little kits anymore, if I ever really could. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifer Posted October 9, 2020 Author Share Posted October 9, 2020 Thanks so much Ray. I wanted one of the Lotus for my collection but it was not a fun kit !!! I am 68 and reaching that point of not being able to build them. Thanks , Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Foxx Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 A great looking build , you have done real nice work as these are not easy to do . I really like the 1/43 builds , I am working on a few Starter kits myself at the moment . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyK Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Man that looks great! I have built some 1/43rd kits when I was younger but wouldn't want to do one now. You've still got it covered even at 68! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drodg Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Looks good. I just finished a SMTS Lotus Cortina that would be a whole lot easier to build than an Indy/F1 1/43 but I still thought I would quit multiple times. Great job again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btw Valpo is 73 and sunny today and of course it will be changing next week. Great job on the 1/43. I have built them for years so enjoy when someone posts a finished kit.
