Nice build, very nice paintwork! I always liked the look of that car.

Thanks everyone for the positive comments! I really appreciate it. https://i.imgur.com/iZrTOFS.jpg With the bodies painted and cleared, I could finally merge the chassis and body and get some work done. The kit has been a pretty easy build up until this point. But the suspension, especially the fron...

Hi everyone! Work continuing on the turbines. I did myself a disservice by building out of order. The chassis (and therefore suspension, interior, and engine) all rests inside the lower half of the body. So to build these efficiently, you should paint and decal the body first.

I'll be building a pair of MPC 1/25 Lotus 56 Indy Turbine cars. https://i.imgur.com/zAsgQMZ.jpg I've had the kit on the bottom (the 1995...

Loving this build - you inspired me to order a set of those decals.
