Gold Leaf Lotus Europa

[Scale-Master]

This one is the 1/24^th scale Tamiya kit.  Other than converting it to left hand drive, adding some machined parts, simple wiring, custom made decals and flocking for carpet, it's out of the box.  It is a very nice little kit.

Nice!  After building one myself; I know it's a challenging kit.

Ackk! A decklid mounted wing. ...Never mind, it's a Europa owner thing  

The Special looks great in Gold Leaf colours. Very nice work Mark, on a beautiful Europa. I have one of these kits on the bench right now, and it is a fine little kit, save for the grossly oversized wheels/tires. Yours looks good on the optional Watanabes though. I do wish we might someday see a decent S1 or S2 Europa come to market, though not holding my breath. I have a conversion in the works, but in the early planning stages.
