Andrey, any idea what the 2 paper masks are for? I can’t figure it out. Did you make templates for the undertray or did you spray through a net?

As I recently lost GBP 110 to a fellow member who took the money and ran I asked Paypal what they could do for me. Their reply: contact the seller, which is no option as he plays deaf and mute.

Very well done!

Early this year MFH promised a 60s Lotus so it's likely to be the 49.
