Lotus 25 and 33

The 25 is a heavily-modded Dave Jones shell, and the 33 is a radically rebuilt modded scratched Monogram. They both have Mashima motors with hot HO armatures. The 25 is as it appeared at the '63 French GP, and the 33 at the U.S. GP in '65 at Watkins Glen.

Very nice, Chris! I'd love to see how an HO arm is used in these cars.
By the way, what's Graham sitting in? Looks Lotus-like, but he'd have been in a BRM those years, right?
Remember, two wrongs don't make a right... but three lefts do! Only you're a block over and a block behind.

Hi Tex, It's the same Lotus 33. It was going to be Graham Hill's Monaco car in 1967: a Team Lotus 33 BRM #14
But I changed my mind, and built it as a 1965 Lotus Climax 33 at the US Grand Prix with Jimmy. Graham Joined Lotus in 67.
Glad you like it,
Thanks
Chris

The chassis and motor for the Lotus 33.
The new Mk 3 Beardog chassis, and the motor is a Mashima with a Wizzard Armature and brushes.

Fantastic looking and detailing--especially for 1/32 scale. I'm a little envious!!
