It really is a beautiful job on your lotus!, I will be hacking-up the heck of my Lotus to be able to turn it into a "one-piece" body -that rear bumper is a horrible pain all by itself! the last one I built doing the "one-piece" body, and it worked brilliantly, but it didn't survive. I plan on doing mine yellow with a multi-shade gray and knarlwood interior, AND a V8 engine -if we cant do it in modeling, then whats the point, right? By the way, the Fujimi Lotus Esprit may be curbside, but it is a fantastic kit!
