Paul,
I have a few more pics similar to these ones, but i suppose you're looking for detail pics, don't you?

Hi
The Netherlands car was known as the partsbin special. With new sidepods and a cut down 72 nose. The car was too advanced for its time and were only used in few GP's. The 72 was reintroduced and reworked with some fascinating variations to make the car work on Goodyears rubber. I can recommend the big book on Lotus 72 which covers 76 as well. Lookung at it you can clearly see the 72 heritage. Wonderful looking car. Shame it didn't work.
Flemming, are you talking about "Lotus Type 72: The History of an F1 Icon" by Michael Oliver? If not can you specify?
I'm still gathering information (I received the paper model today and the graphics are wonderful!), and trying to decide if I can do this in 1/20 scale, without going nuts and buying a Studio 27 Lotus 72. My main stumbling block will probably come down to suspension and wheels.
I appreciate all the photos and thoughts and look forward to any other help and suggestions that you all might have.
