Lotus Esprit Sport 300

Hi all,
Here is Lotus Esprit Sport 300 from Monogram.
I built this about a year ago. The kit was really great in spite of some serious fitting problems.
I like the color very much though it's not very shiny.
Enjoy!



























Thank you for looking!! any comments are welcome!!

Very nice, clean job. The color is great, and thanks for taking pictures of the chassis and engine too. The most important question: what did you do to fix the ride height??? Thanks!

Re: Lotus Esprit Sport 300

This looks fantastic and the colour suits it really well too.

I still fail to understand how Lotus got any sort of rigidity out of that frame.

Except for a missing license plate at the front - absolute flawless! A real pleasure to look at!

I am always happy to see a built up Lotus

It's funny that 1/24 Lotus kits live up their 1/1 acronym - Lots Of Trouble, Usually Serious
