Lotus 56B Turbine Indy


Recommended Posts

Now that it is done I can see how this 53 year old MPC kit could be built into a really nice model.  The main weak points are the suspension that doesn't line up well causing camber and toe issues, and the fit of the body if you want to leave the top removable.  Both issues can be engineered out if one wants to take the time and maybe do some fabricating.  The decals and tires should be upgraded if possible too, but I'm happy with this one as it is. 

Finished with Tamiya TS paints and urethane clear.  Except for the added white decals around the STP logos it is 100% out of the box.
