Nice Lotus-49B!
There were some really stupid design features too; the weight of the wheels pulled the front suspension apart as parts are so flimsy and spaced incorrectly.
This probably explain why your model have a bigger negative camber for the front wheels.

Thanks! Sure does. The wheels are in a fixed position, set as the model relaxed under it;s own weight. I'm not too bothered about corret wheel alignment, as long as it looks sensible... If I'd relied on just the kit alone, the fronts would've been in opposite directions :D :D
