Ebbro lotus 72e

[Tay99]

Hi all, I’ve nearly finished the Honda so I’ve made a start on this kit.

This is my next build project, lotus 72e as driven by Emerson Fittibaldi.
I’ve made a start with priming all the parts, and spraying the black body parts with zero paints.

Hi all bit more done.
All body panels painted and decal applied.

Looking good and rapid progress by the look of it. Looking forward to following along

Lovin' the JPS Lotus!! What decal set is that?

[Tomcat64]

Stunning work and still one of the best looking Formula 1 cars ever in my humble opinion.

I'd agree Neil, I think my favourite is the BT44 in Martini livery, although the McLaren M23/26 and MP4- 8s in Marlborough livery take some beating IMH.

Always loved the jps livery, nice work

[Tay99]

Thanks guys for looking in,

Haven’t had much time on this build. But this is where I am at.
Front suspension is now complete. Quite a complex job of getting it all to line, got there in the end just needs some paint touch up.





Nearly finished the engine and gearbox.

This is looking really great. Excellent build

[Tay99]

Thanks everyone for the kind words.

I’ve striped the chrome parts with Mr muscle oven cleaner.
The wheels where then primed and painted with Alcad gold, the silver edge was painted with Ak true metal silver.



The gearbox and engine have been glued together and most of the rear suspension parts fitted
Also the exhaust have been fitted.





The front end has been attached to the monocoque as has the engine and gearbox.





Thanks for looking.

I'd call it done - looks ten kinds of awesome without the bodywork!!

[jmurphy18]

Very cool looking build. Lovely car

[Tay99]

Hi guys thanks for all the comments.

This has been on the back burner a while, I’ve been on holiday and then come down with the flu.

I managed to get the decals and 2k gloss done before i went on holiday but never got round to posting them.

All I’ve got left to do is make up the seat belts.

















Thanks for looking.

[Tomcat64]

That's just stunning - absolutely stunning!

Hope you're feeling better soon

[Kevthemodeller]

Oh yes

[Twokidsnosleep]

Looking good
Nice bit of kit that is indeed
