1/14 (Burago) Essex / Martini Lotus

[drums01]

New update, I made this from a toy into a model a few years ago but stuff broke, and fell off while building. To make it worse, when spraying the body with clear, it destroyed the decals and paint by wrinkling it all up worse than a 1968 vinyl top on a buick. Here it is stripped, and many parts rebuilt. The body was changed from a one piece lift off by cutting it into three parts. Now only the engine cover is removable (as it should be).
