scorvi Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Just wondering since it sure would like nice next to the Tamiya Lotus 25!?! I may need to get one! Just curious the kit format and quality?? Steve, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bigasshammm Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Haven't got one yet but from what I've seen of the Ebbro kits they are fantastic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vince14 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 I've got one, and it looks fantastic in the box. Should be a great build. Vince Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Joel_W Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Haven't build a race or car model in more years then I can remember. But these current Ebbro kits seem to be just that much better then the Tamiya 1/20 scale kits, and solve such basic issues as the exhaust headers. Will be buying all the Lotuses, especially the 49 as it was the car that I 1st saw Jim Clark and Graham Hill drive in person at Watkins Glen. Would love to see a kit of the 1967 Gurney Eagle that he won Spa in. Joel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
2qwik4u Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Like Vince said, it looks great in the box. The tires are jsut about worth the price of admission alone. I haven't built mine yet, but I am working on one of the Lotus 72 kits. The detail is pretty good, the fit is not bad, but nowhere near as good as a newer Tamiya kit. Don't get me wrong, I love the kit, but the fit of some of the parts kind of reminds me of a disassembled diecast kit. (Again, this is Lotus 72 experience.) -Dave Quote Link to post Share on other sites

IIRC Ebbro was a builder of die-cast cars prior to entering the plastic model realm. Vince Quote Link to post Share on other sites
