1/20 Ebbro Lotus 49B - Graham Hill

Post by monkfish »

Hey all,

I haven't posted on here for years, but have recently completed a few kits that I thought you might like to see.

Here's a few pics of my take on the Ebbro Lotus 49b driven by Graham Hill. A proper fiddly kit that I found quite difficult. There's a few mistake on there, but I was pretty pelased with the results. Apologies if the pics are a bit large.

Feel free to feedback and thanks for taking a peek!

Thank you!

I suffered loads of fitment issues, especially the front end, where parts were just not the right size or alignment.

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.

For the cost of the kit, I would have expected a better quality of design.

I can't see them either. That is odd because I can see pictures on every other thread. The OP said that they were large which must have something to do with the pictures not showing for me (and CeciliaGT) but I have no broadband download constraints so it can't be that. Strange ..

Not certain why you can’t see the images and others can.

It may be that they are being blocked by an ISP. My site isn’t secured with https, so that could be the reason.

You can view them on this link below if you like - but you may again get a security warning depending on your browser.

Feel free to visit, there’s nothing untoward going on, it’s just a simple website.
