Lotus Europa

[Hard_2_Handle_454]

Got this  with a gift card from work.  Thought it was a pretty interesting car and wanted it in the collection.  It's a Tamiya kit that went together quite well.   There is a bit of a fit issue with the rear though.  I also don't like some of the plated parts using real metal.  Over all though, it's a really nice kit.

Good looking!

Liking the red paint and the nice carbs.

Good looking Europa. The red works well. The decals look well done. Did you have any problems getting them on? I have this kit on the bench right now, and have recently applied the decals. It was quite a chore getting them on straight and tidy. Thankfully, I found them to be very high quality decals.

Nice build and good choice for the color. The trim is pretty clean.

Yes, I hated that the ones for the roof and rear were in three separate decals.  In fact I think I broke the ones on the rear and as I applied the clear coat they moved a little bit.

Very nice indeed. Those decals look like they would be tricky, but turned out great for you.

Very nice looking build!
