Lotus 91, Ebbro

An excellent kit, although as a few have pointed out, the fit of the body panels poses some problems. The detail is excellent, and decals laid down perfectly without having to wrestle with them. The photos are a combo of WIP and "Under Glass". On to the next build!!

Super sharp. F1 cars from that era just look right to me.

How many display cases do you have? I'm just trying to estimate the amount of time and work I will have to put in  There may not be enough years left!

Doug...there are 11 display cases. Each one holding about 150-200 pieces depending on the size. The 1/20 F-1 case pictured holds about 80+ and yes its full.  I have been modeling since 1963 and am 76 now. That's  61yrs. Been retired now 3yrs and model full  time almost every day. Don't really expect you to keep up with me given the amount of time I have put in over the years but am flattered that you would even try.  Didn't post this to brag.  I talk to many modelers haveing been in and around the hobby all that time. Even owned a hobby shop for awhile.  I have listened to a lot of "alibi Ikes" telling me all the reasons they can't or won't do a hobby I have enjoyed and am very dedicated to.  I posted this to show those people that it CAN be done if you really want to. There are no excuses why you should not enjoy something you are really passionate about. Doug..you are a great modeller and I sincerely hope you enjoy this hobby as much as I have.  Thanks for posting that (it was kinda funny) and I will be here if you want more info.

Beautiful Lotus, Doug. The JPS Lotus look so wicked, and you captured the look nicely. Well done.
