Tamiya/MFH 1/12 Lotus 72E Doublebuild
Hello,
I started a new project some month ago. I am trying to build two Lotus 72 E, using the Tamiya kit and the MFH transkit. I will build one car ready to race and an other one completly naked.
Until now I finished the main bodies, and scrathbuilt a lot of parts for the front suspension of the naked car. MFH supposes to use the Tamiya parts for the front but they lack quite a lot of details...
So I ordered a Sherline mill and lathe and started scratchbuilding...
Cheers,
Bodo

Wholly Colin Chapman! The parts you've finished alone are Works of Art!! I can't be the only one envious of your soldering skills!
Cheers, Chris

Makes me look like an 6 year old schoolboy doing my first Airfix 1/72 spitfire.
