acmiaz Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 This is a SMTS Lotus Turbine kit of the car that Graham Hill qualified 2nd at the 68 Indy 500. I built this car in 1997.
JM485 Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 Great build of a very unique car, it came out awesome.
Shardik Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 Very nice model of a very unique car. Got any engine pic's?
bbowser Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 Love it, great model. Too bad they were legislated out of competition.
MAGNUM4342 Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 Well done and kept out of the sun. For a twenty year old build the red STP paint has held up quite well. Kudos!
rmvw guy Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 (edited) Nice job Mark and this one is on my bucket list. Did you do the little Wheel Horse tractor that came with it? I was at the race in '68 and remember the little tractors pulling the Indy cars around. I eventually got one and it said 500 special on the hood. I was 17 years old at the time. Thanks for the memories. Edited March 23, 2013 by rmvw guy
Draggon Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 Nice work, sure looks better than the MPC version!
Webb Posted March 24, 2013 Posted March 24, 2013 Nice job Mark! Might want to mention it's 1/43rd. A couple of the guys are mistaking it for 1/24th scale, which is pretty high praise in it's own right! Again, very well done. Chris
Sixties Sam Posted March 24, 2013 Posted March 24, 2013 Very cool model! The third photo make me think "Pinewood Derby." Good work! Sam

Yea I noticed that I put SMTS but I should have mentioned it was 1/43 too. Thanks for looking at the model and the kind words. Edited March 24, 2013 by acmiaz
