Hi

Nice car and very good detailing!
The decals must be from the aftermarket ?! Looks very good.
This build interests me alot because I'm currently restoring a Lotus 78,
it will be the car from Monaco -78 driven by R.Peterson.

Looks really good, Nice paintwork too,
Well built with extra detail,
I remember when I finished my first 1/12 F1 kit, I had nowhere to display it, It wouldn't fit in my glass cabinet :? !!

Way better than my first 1/12. You must have a bit of experience in modelling?

What a superb effort after a 10 year break, The model looks very "atmospheric" and just right.
The only thing you could of done is to replace the kit trumpet covers with fine mesh.
Very well done.Atb,Alexp.
