Re: Lotus 56 turbine car - MPC 1/25

Thanks. I hope that I did print that decal while my ALPS printer worked. I am glad for this thread. Now that I see the model finished I realise that the parts I was going to modify and the reason that my builds went to sleep isn't visible with all body parts in place. Maybe I can find the motivation...

Re: Lotus 56 turbine car - MPC 1/25

A very good build. Like it a lot.
Where did you get the white decal on the tank at the rear? I don't recall seeing it on my S27 sheet.

Re: F1 tire decal placement

I'm surprised that it was so late. It's a good thing thatI don't have any interest of cars later than 1980. I can still get away with my bad paint of the wheels :D

Re: F1 tire decal placement

When the teams painted the logos themselves I suppose ti depend on how the mechanic would turn the wheel over to paint the other side. I know that if I would have done it the wheel would be lying on the ground in front of me and I would place the template at the top. Then I would flip the wheel forw...

Re: Who,s going to make the f1 cars for the 2014 season

This is why its so important for us to support new kits when they come out. I got the Meng MP4/4 at release even though I didn't intend to build it immediately to show there is interest. Its a bit disheartening to see people make posts about somewhat minor issues with the kit and have others say th...

Re: Seatbelt rules in F1?

As I made a comment of Indy 500 I had a look at the Lotus cars there. Already 1963 they had seat belts.

Re: Seatbelt rules in F1?

It is rather confusing. I found a picture with Hill using belts at the 1968 US GP also. I wonder if the rules were different over there making use mandatory. I remember reading a note saying that European drivers was annoyed to have to use belts at the Indy 500. Then there is conflicting data on whe...

Re: Seatbelt rules in F1?

Looking at pictures of Lotus cars I can't see any seat belts until the British GB 1968 where Jackie Oliver have them. Later in 1968 I see seat belts in the Andretti car as well but never in Hill's car.

Seatbelt rules in F1?

As I understand it the six point seat belts was mandatory in the cars 1970 but there were no rules to use them.
I am building a couple of cars from the 1969 season. What type of belts were in use then.
