Hello everyone
I rediscovered B Modelworks kit of Lotus E20 in my stash and was examining the parts. Whole suspension and brakes are cast from white metal and those castings are really awfull to be polite. Is there any plastic 1/20 F1 kit that can be similar to lotus, so I can use plastic parts instead of those WM?
Wheels aren´t great at all too...
Thanx for any advice

You have a few options to go for (not sure how similar tho) tamiya has the ferrari f60 and redbull rb6 from that era and fujimi have a sauber c31 and the ferrari f138. they are all from the same era so you can check them out and see which one is closest to what you need

I'll take a look at my set today. But I didn't remember it that bad.
What you can try is to use Fujimi's McLaren MP4/27 Mercedes as a donor.
