1/8 Pocher Lotus 72

[Chris Smith]

It took 5 weeks to complete this! Probably the quickest build and largest build I have ever done. I did enjoy adding a few extra details and some weathering to bring it to life.

Looks fantastic! Well done.

Really nice looking model. How did you "scuff" the tire tread surfaces? They look great.

[atomicholiday]

That is stunning.  My opinion, this was possibly the most beautiful race car ever built.

[SpikeSchumacher]

Very nicely done! Classic livery ?

[Hi-Po]

Very nice!  Neat and clean.

[dragstk]

That is a nice build. And the fact that you got it done in 5 weeks. Impressive

[Chris Smith]

Awesome build, looks very real with the subtle weathering added to all the mechanical elements.

The Lotus 79 is always talked about so much but to me the 72 is the quintessential Lotus.
