Espo Larrousse Lamborghini Lola LC90

[shunter]

I am doing this as part of the 2010 Speed Build from F1M forum.
This is a kit I have had laying around forever, it has been in and out of the cupboard too many times. Right now I am leaning towards just a tidy OOB build. I have tried to re-do some old builds of late with no success so I hope this one goes better.
Right now I am leaning towards to Japan version seeing Suzuki got a 3rd place there. The car had quite a few different looks over the year so we shall see.





Decals had yellowed a little in the white sections, I stuck them in the window for a few hours and they seem to have come back to white.

I have managed to get some sanding and filling done. Who ever was the tool maker for this kit did not like it much, there are sink marks every where and that would be my pet hate having to get rid of them. I thought Revell were bad with the Nascar kits but they are a dream compared to this.
But any way here are some pics just to show i am working on this one with all intentions to meeting the deadline.

This will be fun to watch. Hope the decals will come out OK for you.

Nice progress. I love and hate these Hasegawa kits. At least they did some different cars like your LC90 and the Zakspeed ZK891.

Finally a small update as I have had a return to work this week it did slow things down some. Managed to finally get things into primer, the cowl took some time as the filler I have is old and was not helping. So now I will get into painting the suspension parts etc and maybe start getting things together.

Looks clean to me

What Kind of Blue paint are you going to use?

I have bought a can of TS-55 Dark Blue which I will try, the yellow and red are not sorted as yet.

Well after escaping the wife for awhile and certainly not taking the line of chaparral2k ;D i did manage to get a little bit of progress made. I have decided to try and spray the dark blue after masking the yellow areas off. I was going to do the same with the nose but thought id see how the yellow nose decal goes, if no good I can always mask it and spray primer then yellow. The fit of the engine cover is quite poor but again this is just a shelfer for me and I want to make sure I hit the deadline on this one.
