Lewis, she's lookin good. Sorry to hear about the turnsignal...maybe it'll turn up?
Odd thing though, it would appear that you mounted the steering wheel on the wrong side...but I could be wrong?!

Lewis, that finish on your Lotus is incredible. Thanks for posting those two links. They will come in handy for a lot of us.

Really good job on the paintjob Lewis. I think you could easily fashion the missing turn signal from a spare sprue to finish it off. Its only a small part.

Thanks Ian, i am contemplating making another, perhaps out of some cutoff bits, but i am unsure as to whether it will fit in?
