I’ve “re-skinned” the monocoque - this was actually Lotus’ first full monocoque design - to make more accurate rivet lines … i can add the rivets later - probably the Archer rivet lines decals - when i put the build aside i had gaps that i couldn’t bond well along the top/bottom seams ….

Alfa 33 Stradale restoration
absmiami replied to Dave B's topic in WIP: Other Racing: Road Racing, Land Speed Racers
