Lotus 107B

This is the start of my next build.


First order of business was to get a coat of white onto the bodywork.  




I also sorted all of the other parts and got them sprayed.

 

The Tamiya 1/20 F-1s are my faves! Thanx for sharing a build. I'll be here, lookin' over ur shoulder.

Thanks guys....I thought I felt someone breathing down my neck........LOL

I got the engine done.


And have a start on the beginning of a lot of decaling.

Thanks Bruce

I got more done on the engine and rear suspension.  



Tamiya gives you decals to do the upper element of the rear wing.  But after trying to get them to lay down correctly, I gave up and painted it gloss white instead.

 

After putting 9 decals on each wheel/tire, I am finished with them.

 

 


Very nice work - great looking wheels.

Thanks guys

I spent some time getting the various sub-assemblies together.

Very good work on the body, paint and decals can make or break a finish! Engine rear suspension isn't up to older Tamiya standards (just my view). Around the time they did the Porsche 956 gtp car molded-on parts instead of separate one and little detailing was left off. Still, it's the body we see most and it looks great! Thanx for updates!

Thanks Harron

I got the cockpit into the monoque and the front suspension on.

Looking good Paul. All those colors work quite well together.

Fine work on all the little bits, Paul. Looks great.

Thanks guys

This is where I was this morning. Besides decaling the rear cowl, it's just down to assembly.

 

Great work Paul    Looking good!!

Lovely, just lovely. Great paint and assembly!

Thanks guys

A little more added.

 

Thanks Buck.

I got the wings on.





I put the rear cowl on to get the last couple of decals to line up with the rest of the bodywork.

Looks great Paul. Very nice work.

Thanks Buck

I got all of the rest of the decals on and the little bits like mirrors and antennas, so I'm calling this one done !!
