Lotus 107B

I have started working on the Lotus I got (bought) for Christmas. I started one of these some time ago but messed up the decals. And buying a new one was cheaper then buying new decals for it.

I started with the "office". The cockpit received some Scale Motorsport carbon decals. I removed the seat belts and gave the seat a coat of Fauxe fabric for some texture and a coat of flat red. I added Scale motorsport seat belts to finish it off.



The dashboard also received some carbon, the lights where replaced with small dots made from 0,2mm styrene sheet. I also added a Top Studio connector to the panel on the left hand side. i really love the looks of these connectors, half the reason I wanted to build a F1 car was to use as many of these I could.







I have just started the decals, so far it's better than the first time around but not perfect. The nose decal doesn't wasn’t to do what I want it to but I think I can fix it. An one of the green stripes on the monocoque have a big tear in it, typical it's the same decal that made me stop the first time so I don't have a replacement. Hopefully a bit of paint and some green spare decals from the first kit and it should be ok.

Great start the cockpit looks good keep the updates coming.

Looks great so far, shame about the decal probs but i am sure you will recover the build.

Nice start. I'll be sure to keep watching this one.

Looking awesome so far...I made such a mess of the decals on my 107B that I haven’t touched it since, so I know how you feel. The office looks top notch and I love that seat material. I will be watching this one closely!
