It's a hand-made kit and is more likely to be classified as "old school"... (please don't misunderstand this - there are better and worse kits here too).

I have also started reworking the kit and will also recreate some components.
Unfortunately I have to say I got a little taken away from other things.
I also made new decals because I couldn't work with the templates either.
There will also be new tires/wheels, maybe I'll start a WIP as I go along.
Thomas, I just purchased one too. I’d be interested in any parts/decals you produce.

I have the kit as well and the wheels are what worries me most right now. I think that I can use much of the decals from an Ebbro Lotus 49B.

Tires and rims are already on my plan, I think I'll be able to show something here shortly.

I tried to get some new tires, rims and wheel nuts.
First step at the front... followed by the rear ones of course.
