So much detail in such a small scale.

Thanks all for the welcome.
I hope to be able to collaborate with you in this fantastic forum.

This is great! Are you doing any mods, or is this all out of the box? Looks like awesome fun for OOB kit.

Amigo Español, recibe un gran saludo desde Puerto Rico.

Pregunto: Que usaste para las rejillas de las trompetas de lo carburadores?


Garacias!

Hola Porsnatic, la rejilla viena incluida en el kit, junto con una especie de punzón para darle la forma.

A few updates, paint and lacquer.

The model is very good and the detail you are adding is makes a big improvement.

The Goodyear and markings on the tyres look superb, although the tyre surface looks a little too rough... are the tyres a problem to work with, i.e. too hard/plastic?

Incredible !

It's almost hard to believe that this is 1/43rd.
Looking stunning !

Thanks for your comments guys.

The problem of the tyres I had when I gave it the matt varnish, the surface became very rough, perhaps It react the varnish with the rubber of the tyres.

tyres look cool!

That's looking very nice! I should make some progress on my Tameo...now where's that time again :-)

Hello Guys, finally I have finished the Lotus.
I hope that you like.

Enjoy.

Great build. I would be proud of that much detail in a 1/20th scale car... but at 1/43rd the level of detail is astounding.

Thanks for sharing the build with us.

Bill

Excellent looking Lotus!! Really like the level of detail you put into it Pablo
can't wait to see whats next :)

Excellent build! Congratulations!

There's only one thing that sticks out a bit for me ( compared to all the other great details you did :-). The spark plug wires look a bit unnatural but then I know very well they're not easy to do in 1/43rd....

Little gem!!!

Wow 1/43 I don't think i could build in that scale. But hold on i think I need to pick my jaw up off the floor because that is just amazing.

Thank you very much for all comments guys.
It´s a pleasure stay at this forum.
