1/12 Tamiya Lotus 72D '73 spec version

Post by sandrino »

Hello,
I have been a member of this forum for many years, but I have never shown anything of my models ...
Today I want to try ....

I tried to get a credible version of the early '73 Lotus 72 Tamiya, driven by Ronnie Peterson.
Numerous changes to the original kit, including new St27 decals (excellent) and the "final touch" of the M.F. Hiro
Hope you like it

Beautiful build! SuperSwede's ride's are always popular subjects. Was watching a great video of the 1973 Spanish GP at Montjuich Park the other night, Ronnie was so awesome that day! Even though he retired while leading, he was the class of the field, utterly devastating that afternoon around the classic street circuit in the hills above Barcelona.
