This is a very old kit from my stash.
Resin and metal - about 120 parts so it's pretty simple.
I think I'm going to do the green Jim Clark car.
I'll be doing this one 'in between' the main forum stuff.
Hopefully a fun build and for once, it's not a 'wreck restration'... roymattblack attached the following image(s):

I've now given the body a few coats of old Lotus BRG.
Another few coats to add before a good polish.
The floor panel was very badly warped so it was given a good soak in hot water, dried and a bit of weight in the middle.
Hopefully this will sort it.
I'm going to have to make my own body side panels as they are missing from the kit.
On we go... roymattblack attached the following image(s):

Looking good Roy. Apart from making the side panels, looks very straight forward for you.   Mark Regards

Thanks Mark.
I've given the body a bit of T-cut and a buffing.
Still more to do but it's looking better.
Next was to trim the resin seat in leather.
The resin casting was actually very good but I just feel that at this scale, real leather looks better.
In all it took me about an hour.roymattblack attached the following image(s):
