Hello Jim,......this Lotus 30 is Strombeckers' 1/32 version.

Paint (Tamiya TS) and clearcoat (MRHobby),................this one was done with MRHobby "gloss",....I have since been using MRHobby "semi gloss",....it looks much more realistic. I will be re spraying the Lotus with "semi gloss" in the near future.

Hi Jim, Strombecker produced several nice USRRC (pre 1966) and CanAm (1966 on) bodies,........most on some rather hideous chassis, but , with a chassis change and a bit of body work, they can be made to look/run very well !!
