hey all... after a long hiatus, i'm getting back into building. i'm gathering references and parts for my next project: Tamiya's 1/20 Lotus 78. :runaround:

i wonder if anyone has photos from the F1 Modeling vol. 20, as I haven't been able to find it anywhere, and it never appears on eBay... :banghead:

also, the kit shocks/springs and brakes are junk. anyone have any thoughts on suitable replacements? i've got the S27 detail kit/decal set, but its brakes aren't much better. i'm not sure there's a 1/20 brake set for 70s era F1 cars, but i wonder if something in 1/24 scale might work (Mr. Model brake set? etc...)

also, if anyone knows where i might find a set of the Studio 27 turned aluminum wheels for the Lotus 78, I'm all ears... :)
