tuffone20 Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 I built this for a club theme. I picked this kit up years ago and got it because I just wanted the tractor. It has aftermarket resin tires & decals from IndyCal 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steveracer Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Nice to see one of these built, and extra nice to see one so cleanly built straight out of the box! I love these cars, thank you for sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyK Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Nice job on this and you pretty much have to use aftermarket tires as the ones in the kit are usually warped. What paint did you use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin Porter Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Really a great build of one of Indy's icons. The resin tires really are a subtle but marked improvement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bainford Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 A nice, clean build of a very interesting Lotus ( though IMHO there is no such thing as an uninteresting Lotus). Those tires are a huge improvement. Nice work. That’s a beautiful model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

absmiami Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 My head is spinning this site has viewers of a certain tender age that are unaware that these tractors were a staple in the pits until when ? The early eighties ? Yup I’m feeling old - nice build by the way .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drodg Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Love the build. I always wondered if anyone made decals for the Wheel Horse tractor that comes in the kit. Great job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
