I'm normally a VW traditionalist but I like this one a lot. Great concept and execution!
-
I can't believe I missed this one the first time around. I stumbled on it because I just ordered this kit and was looking for build-up articles. Great Work, Anders! Extremely clean build and your color scheme makes a gorgeous car look even better.

Super clean build. Great Work!
-
Beautiful work, Anders! Coincidentally I pulled this kit out of my stash a couple of weeks ago. I hope mine turns out as well as yours.

Really nice work, Anders. I especially like your work on the interiors. -
Nice Job on another unusual subject.
-
Nice clean build, Chris, with some good detail. Great Job!
-
Really Nice Work, Ray. I'm tempted to pick up one of these kits but I don't have enough room to display it!

Nice build of an unusual subject. Nice Work, Chris!

Really nice, Chris. As others have mentioned above, super clean build and great color choice.
-
Turned out great, Harry. Really nice work. Thanks for the lessons you learned the hard way. Here's one from my experience - Tamiya White Surface Putty DOES NOT work well as a polishing compound!
-
Look great, Ray. Love the color scheme!

Man, that's a beauty, Dave! Who makes (made) the kit? -
Really nice work, Helmut. I started one of these a number of years ago so I know it's a fiddley kit to build. You did an outstanding job on yours. Great Job!

Really nice build of an unusual car, Rich. That's a pretty complex livery and you pulled it off very nicely. -

Outstanding build, Jay. As mentioned above, I've had this kit in my stash but have been hesitant to take it on. When I do get to building it I hope mine turns out half as well as yours. -
Gold Leaf Lotus Europa
Gluebomber replied to Gluebomber's topic in Other Racing: Road Racing, Salt Flat Racers
Thanks for the kind words, Guys. -
Below are some pics of the Tamiya Lotus Europa in the Gold Leaf livery. This kit was originally issued in 1999 and was recently re-released by Tamiya with additional p/e parts, turned aluminum carb intakes, alternate wheels, and a rear wing. Sponsorship liveries replaced national team colors for the first time in Formula 1 in 1968 with the red, white, and gold of Gold Leaf tobacco colors of the Lotus 49. I saw pictures of these colors used on a Lotus Europa and decided it would make a good looking model. My version isn't intended to be a replica of any specific car, but more of a tribute to the brand and colors. The model is built pretty much box stock. I added some engine wiring but everything else came with the kit. Paint is Tamiya Spray Italian Red (TS-8) and Pure White (TS-26) decanted, mixed with Gunze Leveling Thinner, and airbrushed. The gold parts were sprayed with Alclad II Pale Gold and chrome trim was done in Alclad II Chrome and a Molotow Liquid Chrome marker. The Gold Leaf markings are from Indycals with the remaining decals from my spares. Overall, the kit went together very well. I hope you like the pictures. All comments and constructive criticism are welcome.

Looks great from here, Jonathan. Love the livery. How was the kit? -
Really nice work, Anders. Ebbro has done some really nice kits of interesting subjects and you did a great job on this one.
-
As mentioned earlier, this is not the easiest kit to build. You did a great job on it. Nice Work!

Nice Work, Ray. Makes me want to pull this kit out of my stash.
