Lotus Type 1979 - Tamiya 1/24


Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

Its been a long time since the last post here as I haven't had much free time with some renovations going on. I bought this kit as this car is pretty iconic with its implementation of ground effect and I love the livery. Anyway here we go.

The kit unpacked (with some extras)

During the decal process I stuffed one of the gauges. Luckily I had bought some decal paper a few years ago and got to put it to use for the first time. Made this dodgy gauge for the printer. Printed it, cut out carefully and voila it worked a treat

Thanks for looking!
