Lotus 56B Turbine F1

[Scale-Master]

SMTS white metal 1/43^rd scale kit.

I built the Gold Leaf version with side tanks driven by Reine Wisell in the 1971 British G.P.

Nice work!!! My eyes and hands have force me to give up 1/43!!  I do think I'd like to try and do this in 1/25.

You got me curious if there were any 56B transkits for the MPC Indy car, but I couldn;'t find any online.  Model Factory Hiro did make a 1/20 scale 56B, but with a MFH price tag.
