1/12 Lotus 49 Ford F1

Hey guys,

just completed this very old Tamiya kit (1968!!!!!)

I build it OOB as a commissioned build. I used Zero Paints British Racing Green and Revell Yellow 12 as main colours cause the decals are totally gone due the years. Clearcoated it with 2K Zero.

Hope you like it. I had a lot of problems with the quality and fittment but in the end it's a stunning model I think.

the lotus came out great Kris
maybe try a wash on the transcase and engine - see WRCfan's Lotus in "completed" listings
still looks very good

Nice build of a real classic Tamiya kit.

Just glorious - surely one of the most beautiful Grand Prix cars ever made...
