mral47 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Here is my first ever Ebbro build. Have to say this really nice kit to build. Only problem that can be mentioned is that the front and engine covers do not fit very well. Tried my best to work out with that problem. Added some details like fire extinguisher that was not in the kit and of course lot of wires and hoses. 26 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chimpion Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 That looks great. Were the JPS decals included with the kit? I have the Lotus 72 and had to buy aftermarket ones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi @Chimpion, no they are not included, would be good to know which aftermarket decals @mral47 used though, I have the Tabu decals and the yellow is much much brighter than the kit decals.

nearsightedjohn Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 The additional plumbing/ wiring you added to this Lotus is amazing. Also love the colors/ heat staining effect on the exhaust headers - how did you do it? All around beautiful A+ work! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mral47 Posted February 12 Author Share Posted February 12 (edited) Thanks nearsightedjohn, kapam and Chimpion. No tobacco decals in plastic kits nowadays. Used TBdecals "full set" aftermarket decals for this one. Only REV counter and master switch decal is from Ebbro. For the exhaust staining I used Tamiya "make-up palette" AKA Weathering Master Set D. I found it nice to use, cause you can wipe it off if effect is not desired and try again. Edited February 12 by mral47 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRMRL Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 That's superb, great work and lovely detailing. It's a nice car, although I initially thought it looked like it was missing something without the familiar front wing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TommyOneTwoFour Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Gotta love this! When I first saw this kit built on another forum, I had to get myself one too. I love the CF decals and rivets included. Yours turned out beautifully. Too bad we all get fooled (to put it mildly) with regards to the missing tabacco decals. I'll probably get myself a sheet from Indycals, as usual. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vesa Jussila Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 I saw this in other forum. Really first class work and this sponsorship colours are legendary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitkent Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Beautiful model of a beautiful car,as others have said there’s a lot going on under the bonnet. Who doesn’t like a JPS Lotus? This is the Grand Prix winning car of 1982 Elio de Angelis. I think! Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triumphfan Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Superb model and great looking car. The JPS was probably one of the most striking liveries in F1 history? I must admit, I had sort of stopped following the GP's by this time (not a fan of the turbo ban) Great detailing and a superb paint finish, very well done. 👍 Atb, Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
