M-A-G-N-I-F-I-C-O-! , I can't wait to see the finished model! Wow!
Thanx for sharing, Querque

Many thanks for kind comment Querque, appriciate it!

Stunning update! I would call this engine finished, so many details, looking forward to what else you have in the backyard for it!

Many thanks for kind comment!
Realized i wrote everytime commend instead of comment! Lol Sorry for bad english!

Some more progress on the Lotus is finished or even prepaired.
First i finished the undertray with CF work and flat clear. Next was putting on bare metal foil and some heat shields which i made from aluminium sheet, detailed everything with some etched nuts.






Next is some scratch build fittings for coolers, intercoolers, airbox and so on. Tiny stuff again, soldered from brass rods and pipes. I reworked the coolers and changed the plumbing with its straps, the fittings for overflow are missing in this picture. Painted the part for the sidepod silver, but still not happy with it, i guess i will do it again. Last i painted some bottom support brackets. Most of this parts will be installed once Tub, engine and undertray is glued together, some engine plumbing has to be done infront of that too. Sorry for crappy pics, the cam is sometimes not working like i want it to.


















Finaly i made a dry set up with everything together to see where i can get into trouble with adding more details, Snorkel on gearbox is installed and i scratch build some connectors with wiring for the injection nozzles. Exhaustpipes and Turbos are still in work, needs paint and detailing.








Thanks for watching!

Amazing work! Those fittings look great, love the look of the radiator hose joints as well. I'm sure this would be a whole other thing to see in-person. Can't wait to see the bodywork too
