Derek A Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Anothrer favourite subject in a larger scale, the Tamiya Lotus 49b of Graham Hill. Another great kit that is a pleasure to build. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill.B Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 One of the better looking race cars from my era. Job well done! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Brilliant, just brilliant, being possibly my favourite ever F.1 car of course doesn't hurt of course but that is quite wonderful to my eye. Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullbasket Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Very nice indeed, and Graham looks good too. John. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chimpion Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Beautiful build - very impressive. Could you check how you post the photos though? On my Android phone the aspect ratio is distorted and changes depending on the orientation of the phone - not a problem I normally have. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are dragged and dropped from Flickr, I'll take a look to see if there is a way of fixing the aspect ratio! If you know how, please let me know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill.B Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 If you tap on the photos they simply pop into perspective, well at least they do on my iPad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharknose156 Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Very well done. Yes there is a strong distortion on the sides. The car is actually 'longer' or more elongated. PS Graham's moustache was more 'brownish' than jet black, or is it the phone again ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vontrips Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Very nice! I have had this one set aside for just about forever. May I ask what red did you use? I found a Gold Leaf cigarette packet under our floorboards about 25 years ago - stored it away for future colour reference, LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great idea the shine enhancer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeastieBoy73 Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Amazing looking build! This kit is at the very top of my wish list. Unfortunately, my limited ability wouldn't do it justice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOUSTON Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Although the photos look as if they're in those circus mirrors... your Model is STUNNING. GORGEOUS work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
