Re: Material of Lotus 79 side pods / ground effect ducts?

Re: Documentation on the Matra Sports MS11 1968 Formula-1 car
Thanks! And BTW, Ebbro/Tamiya didn’t change the bodywork. I noticed the strange boxy shape on the floor earlier and found it odd. Now I understand that it was for batteries... Ah, the 60’s and 70’s with their gimmicks and motorization.... I also read the article from Modelersite. Oh man, did that mo...
