MonoPed Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 (edited) Old school Tamiya kit with a few changes. Opened up the scoop on the side of the hood, made new turn signals mounted under the headlights, swapped the VW beetle-like tail lights with a simple round light, added resin MiniLites from Replicas and Miniatures, aluminum gauge bezels, and a few engine details including new carb trumpets made from aluminum tube. Color is Tamiya TS16 with matte aluminum foil on the firewall, floor pan and trans tunnel. Feels good to get something finished! Edited June 14, 2011 by MonoPed
GeeBee Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 Very nice build, I like the extra detail you put into the engine
LAone Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 wow, that is a sweet looking lotus. i like all the extra attention to detail. the stacks look way better in aluminum.
crazyjim Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 Hey Brian - I bet it feels good to build that nice a model. I love the details you put into it.
