Lotus 99T, 1/43, Heller

Post by MarcoSaupe »

Hi,

this year I managed to build very few car models, so I thought, I should add a tiny side projects over the holidays. Therefore I built the Heller 1/43 Lotus, about 20 parts, more a toy than a model, flash and sinkholes, etc... but with some small modifications (I opened the gaps between wing elements, didn't use the front axis but faked a bit detail on the suspension, added belts and used Indycals Decals) it doesn't look that bad in the display cabinet, at least not from a distance. Painted with decanted TS colors, details hand brushed with Aquacolor.

Hope you like it.

Hi Marco,

Your 99T comes out looking great!

These are dirt cheap kits for fun. I have a couple of them, FW11, 99T, Mercedes C9, & Jaguar XJS & XJR9.

Happy New Year!

Wow!!! really nice, you really treated it as it deserved.
Surely basic kits, but let´s face it, they cost just the equivalent to 3 euro! Meri, Tameos, etc of the same day cost 12 times more!
Really nice, and with Michael´s decals its really a great update.
You treated it with loving care and the result speaks :D

I would say 25 times more. :D
I have built three of these but none look as good as this one.
