I started to build the Lotus too; I had it in my shelve since 1994 when I inherated it from a deceased friend who had started the painting of the body. I tried to spray a layer on top of my friend's work, but that didn't work out. So I had to strip all the paint and start over again, which I did.
Now I finally put the bodywork in primer, and 2 layers of Metallic British Green (which I had left over from the Bentley) and 2 layers of clear. Looks pretty good, even if I say so myself  As soon as I have the chance to show some pics I'll post them...

It's looking pretty good. I love that colour scheme, although I'd prefer black IMHO.

Looks pretty nice with that yellow nose, makes it look like a true classic seven, although that is in sheer contrast with the metalised paint, which IIRC, isn't available , or at least wasn't available at that time...
Still, a damn fine effort... Olivier.

I don't think the kit came as a prepainted bodywork, so that is why I took the liberty of chosing a color scheme that I liked

completely correct...and it is still available as a kit under the name of caterham. im not sure if you are aware, but the colour scheme you have chosen was a special paint job done for a lotus super 7 that apeared in the cult 60's series, The prisoner.  caterham then did a prisoner special replica thingy. in the early 90's...i think
