1/24th AMT Lola T70
#1

Progress has been slow, but, the body is finally done..........

Before the rivet counters jump in,...I did replace a few bits here and there as the kit (1966) was missing a few bits, and, as a kid, I did invariably modify most of the kits I was given/bought, so, I do not feel all that bad  Bigsmile 

The chassis is a day or two away from being finished, and I will post a pic. then....

Cheers,...and, Happy New Year

Chris Walker

The paint is Tamiya "Champagne" gold........a fantasy livery, but one that would look at home on a 65/65 USRRC/CamAm car.

A crummy pic. but, the gauges actually look quite realistic.

I have made an aluminum rear lip spoiler.......debating whether to stick it on.

The wheels are not form AMT...they are 1 piece cast aluminum Lola T70 wheels from Russkit,.......very cool and, gorgeous QQ

The as yet unfinished chassis,...a few wire braces, a brass front axle tube, and a heavily modified AMT 36D motor

I ran out of edit time on my post above, so, will post a pic. of the finished chassis here.

A few wire braces, a brass front axle tube for strength (these were prone to bending in a crash), lead wire tubes, a few other bits, and a modified AMT 36D from Mr. Havlicek.
