krishna.iskandana Posted September 13, 2011 Posted September 13, 2011 (edited) Hello Guys, This is an old monogram kit, a Lotus Esprit Turbo, I think it's quite rare to be found these days. The color is metallic black from tamiya and the interior color is broken white, also from tamiya. Let me know what you think and thanks for looking Kind Regards Krishna Iskandana Edited September 23, 2011 by Romell R

CorvairJim Posted September 13, 2011 Posted September 13, 2011 That's one sharp looking Esprit! I never think of these cars in black, but it really looks good on it, especially contrasted with the white interior.
LAone Posted September 13, 2011 Posted September 13, 2011 that looks tough man. the stance is just right and the lettering on the tires complete that look.
jeffs396 Posted September 14, 2011 Posted September 14, 2011 Great job!!! I've loved these cars since high school...picked up this kit finally this past spring
randx0 Posted September 14, 2011 Posted September 14, 2011 I am diggin it. I always enjoy your clean and original builds.
Tonioseven Posted September 14, 2011 Posted September 14, 2011 VERY nice!! You never fail to impress!! That's not exactly the easiest kit to build but you've overcome the obstacles.
Lownslow Posted September 14, 2011 Posted September 14, 2011 nice im looking forward to building a second one the first one was so much fun. are the tires painted or decals?

Thanks for the comments guy, the tyres were not painted, I used michelin tyre decals from hobby design. Regards
Jeff Johnston Posted September 17, 2011 Posted September 17, 2011 That's a great looking model of a really cool car. The best part about it is that I know its a touch build...it does not just fall together and ours looks like it did. The ride height is perfect and I also know that had to take some work. Very nice... I came inches from buying a yellow 84 Esprit back in the early 90s...My uncle (who had a new one) talked me out of it, which was probably a good thing (one repair bill would have given me bad regrets). Instead I bought a 1991 MR2 and I drive it 9 years Very nice Build.
Dominik Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 Thats one of the best cars, Lotus ever build. Like it very much, you have built it!
