This is one i have had in and out of the box for a few false starts. With the Xmas holidays i thought lets have a crack at it. I always liked these kits and it was a shame they were done as a snap kit, i think if they had of been a glue kit there would have been more traction and maybe we would of had more than the two Lola's?

So this is where i go to last time, sanded the seamlines and painting went well till i had done the black and noticed my white had a small mark in it, i sanded this down and then thought to help the declas i will just shoot a little TS13 onto the body, well i then ended up with the lovely melted paint finish, and this was with a dust coat.



So then a bath in the 99% alcohol and prime again and this is what i am back to.


Paint went on nicely this time..



So decals are my next item.

Managed to get some decals done between being Mr Mum and keeping order in the house. It is nice when you get the kids to bed and there is that quiet time just for you....lol
Decals are Museum Collection which i got with the kit, i have never used them before and found them very easy to work with and i do like that there was basically no carrier film so you do not have to trim tight around the decals.






I have had a chance to finally finish up the decals and now i am working on the suspension arms and engine.

very nice work, can't wait to see the finished product... "Red 5 standing by" Laughing

maybe seeing a finished formula style car will inspire me to dig out my Tamiya McLaren MP 4/8 out and start work on it...
