That is correct, although they only started to use them from 1971 onwards I think.

They had the treads for the rain, but they didn't use any slick tires until 1971. They just used the same kind of tire, no matter what kind of weather it was. In 1971, Goodyear and Firestone introduced slick tyres to Formula 1.

Thanks for posting this project, for me while i would like the kit, one more 1/20th might be a "Bridge too far" for me as I'm pretty slow at car. I will be following your work as I think any hints and tips I pick p will translate well onto the Tameo kit. I presume that you have used the zero paints Gold leaf set?
Keep up the good work and I look forward to seeing progress,
Regards,
Terry.

It has been a while since my last post. There is a good reason for this: the instructions mislead me which resulted in a wrong position of the decal with the racenumber 5. I noticed this to late, when I looked at my reference pics. So I asked my fellow modellers who have the same kit if they were planning on building another version of the Lotus, and I was lucky. Thanks to my friend Lesley who will build the Lotus in another race, I could get a new set of nr 5 decals and I spraypainted the white roundel to mask the wrong decal, after which I put the new nr 5 decal on top of it. After a few clearcoats it will be hardly noticeable.

Hi Guy,
As usual your work looks and is superb. No problem about the decals. I'm always happy when i can help a friend or a fellow modeler out.
Best regards,
Lesley

Hey Guy, great build! Have you soldered some of the metalparts? If yes, go on, it looks very fine in scale!

I agree with the comments, this is a very nice job! I have a bunch of Indy kits in my stash - you are encouraging me to start one! 🙂

There really is no secret magic spell: just lots of gloss coats, and after each coat polishing will do the trick. It's a pretty intensive job, but it's worth the effort 😉
