Gluebomber Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 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!
Silver Foxx Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 Very nice work , great detail , looks so right .
Davewilly Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 Looks great! I always liked the Lotus...maybe its the Green and Gold..
Terminator-Fox Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 That's beautiful, very well done Larry.
Daddyfink Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 Those kits really look good when built right, and this one is built right!
D. Battista Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 Super clean build..! Love those old racers..!
Lovefordgalaxie Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 WOW, I can small the racing gas, and hear the Grand Prix theme while looking at those.
Rob Hall Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 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...
TooOld Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 Absolutely gorgeous ! Never seen that particular kit before , you've done an excellent job .
