indydog Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 (edited) Here is my build of the Tamiya 1/12 Lotus 49b. This is the old motorized release, so the engine is a bit overscale. I built it as the car driven by Walker Racings Jo Siffert. Siffert ran an early 49b without the nosevents, narrow front wings and a shorter rear wing. Intake mesh is from MFH and decals are from Indycals. First up was to get rid of the nose vents and narrow the wings. I backed the openings with card and filled them with glazing putty. Here the left wing has been modified: I used the front supports on the rear wing and removed a further 1/2in off the bottom. The finished product: Edited July 10, 2016 by indydog Quote Link to post Share on other sites
