Lovely

May I ask which aftermarket JPS decal set you used?

JPS and Goodyear decals are from Museum Collections (MC-d456) and
decals on tires are Tabu (12034-B).Rest (Valvoline and lines) are original
Cartograf items.

Impressive model!

The level of detail and the very well done weathering are making it very a realistic looking model!
Exceptionally well done!

PS: ow did you make the tires look so realistically scrubbed?

Re: Lotus Type 78 1/12

Hi

Superb looking '78! I love the way you have managed to make it weathered like the real thing. Dusty tires and exhaust - slight paintscratches on suspension, while the bodywork is as pristine as possible. Wonderful work of art. More! Bigger pictures! :-)
