Cool Nigel Mansell's 1993 CART champion, fully detailed, Tamiya Lola.

I built this way back when this kit was first released. I took a driver from a Formula One kit and detail painted it with Texaco/Kmart colors. I sectioned the rear/side body cowling to open like the real car, fully detailed the engine bay and used several etched fasteners.


I used aluminum AN fittings and wire from Detail Master to detail the engine bay. Reference pictures of this engine bay were very scarce back then.


I used guitar string for the antennae.
