AMT 1/25 Lola T-8800 Arie Luyendyk
Posted: Fri Apr 07, 2017 1:22 am
Hi everyone,
Here is my latest finished work, and possibly the most frustrating. This is Arie Luyendyk's Provimi Veal Lola T-8800 from the 1988 Indy 500. The Provimi scheme is one of my all time favorites. Sadly, the kit was pretty awful. Nothing fit and details were soft at best. I ended up making the kit curbside to make the build end quicker! I used Alclad gloss black base for the paint. The kit decals were used and terrible. I really should've used Indycals on this one. In the end, I'm reasonably happy with how it all turned out. I wish I had built this before I bought a half dozen of these AMT Indycar kits!
As always, comments and critiques are welcome.
Thanks,
Jake
