Lotus super 7 series 2

July 12, 2023 · in Automotive · · 16 · 335

This is my first car model, a , so here it is in all its glory and faults.

I replaced the kit seats with Scale Productions Sparco bucket seats and the kit wheels with Scale Productions 15" BRM wheels. The paintwork is SMS British Racing Green as all British sports cars should be. Carpet, seat inserts and body panel arm rests are lense cleaning cloth cut to fit. Battery and sparkplug leads are copper wire painted to suit. Hope you like it, as I enjoyed building it, maybe I shall try something more involved for my next automotive build.

  1. A beautiful result, hard to believe this is your first car build, Ian @firelockg
    Welcome to this great community.
    Looking forward to more of your builds.
    Wel done.

  2. A wonderful result, Ian!
    Welcome aboard!

  3. @firelockg - Welcome to iModeler Ian! A very nice first entry.
    As you begin other builds be sure to post in the Groups, there's a bunch of Work In Progress threads in there. The community loves to follow the build as well.

  4. A great first choice for a car model, Ian. The British Racing Green with the yellow nose is a classic colour scheme and reflects the then current Team Lotus F1 colours. Your aftermarket seats and wheels are good additions, as are the other extra details you put in. Welcome to iModeler.
