Tamiya 1/24 Lotus Super 7
New one dragged out of the stash to begin.
Two main sprues, one clear and one chrome with a PE grille with rubber tyres.
Not too many parts but some that could be quite fiddly.
This will be a themed one so not following the paint plans.
Can't remember the last time I built a car kit so i'm looking forward to this one.

An absolute classic kit this. I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with it. I remember how everyone thought how fantastic this was when it first came out when I was a mere teenager.
Still a good kit now and a great tribute to the quality of Tamiya.

That will be nice when done, I have recently done 6 Tamiya car kits, I don't think their quality can be beaten

Update
Not much here, had to fill some ejector pin marks, some of which will be visible, under the wheelarches, body pan, underbonnet, (as I will want the bonnet removeable), ready for priming as is the spitfire for my GB non GB
Some of them, quite large, more so than you typically see on a Tamiya kit, but I understand this is quite an old kit in Tamiya terms.
Am also planning on some research which is a great excuse to watch some much liked DVD's again.

Nice work so far, would look great with KAR 120C as the reg no.
Have fun, John

Enjoy your 'research'! It did look good driving round the streets of London.

Main bodyshell and bits primed ready for paint, primed in Humbrol Primer No1, I usually use matte white but given the bulk of the kit is white styrene and remembering what a job seeing the white primer on a white plastic is when I did the Saturn V I decided to go with grey.

A stunning car, and this looks like it will be a stunning build.

Thankyou, and I certainly hope so, i'd like this one to be a good display piece.
It's a long time since building a car and i've forgotten how many fiddly little bits there are to paint before assembly, much more so than bike kits.
