This is the Ebbro 1/20 Lotus 49.  The model represents the car Jim Clark drove to a win in the 1967 Dutch Grand Prix.  

The kit was a bit fiddly in parts (more Hasegawa than Tamiya) but went together well overall.  I added some details to the cockpit and engine, including the Acu-Stion intake trumpets and screens, as well as some wiring and plumbing.  I also added a distributor and fuel block but they're buried between the intakes and don't show in the pictures (but I know they're there!).  Paint is Tamiya Spray Racing Green decanted and airbrushed.  The kit chrome was stripped and resprayed with Alclad Polished Aluminum.

All comments and constructive criticism are welcome.  Thanks for looking!

Sharp build...love that era of F1 cars.  I have this kit, haven't built it yet.   Still waiting on the Ebbro 1969 Lotus 49B, I've had one on pre-order w/ HLJ for 2 1/2 years...
