A Lotus to be proud of Joel! And you did really well with both the gloss paint and the decals (the most scary thing for me if I ever get around to building an F1 kit!).

Hi, Joel!
I was waiting this moment, as your build looked very promising from the good beginning. And you haven't disappointed!
The very neat and slick look of this car you have rendered it as close to perfection as it could be. The solution you found for painting the wheels it works a treat!
I have to tip my hat, Sir! Superb!
P.S. I don't think is any remedy for kit hoarding. I'm so sick myself
Cheers!

Gabriel,
So glad that you like how the type 72E turned out. Each build my painting and finishing techniques are getting better as I get more comfortable with the process.

Michael,
Thanks so much for your thumbs up. It's means a great deal to me when my friends and fellow modelers appreciate my efforts, even though this time I got real lucky.
