Car updates
As I'm using a MRRC chassis with this body I won't be using the normal interior tray which is also the chassis of the car as all the parts clip or screw on to it, I could cut these off but there is not a lot of detail anyway. The body kit also came with a vac formed interior that fits over the original tray and has quite abit of detail but this is also no use for this build as it's for a rally car and has the co-driver moulded in. As it happens I have a vac form interior tray from Pendle's that is just about right, the rear seat back might be a little bit to far forward but other than that I just need to find a suitable drivers head.

Car updates
Having taken some photos of the MRRC Lotus Cortina body I wasn't happy with the near,left, side Lotus badge so I have removed it and replaced it, glad I printed some extra ones.


Just need some good weather now so I can do the clearcoat on this and some other bodies.

Car updates
Having applied the decals to the MRRC Lotus Cortina yesterday I realised that I had forgot to do any Lotus badges so I printed some and also did some Stewart Tartan for Jackie Stewart's crash helmet on the BRM.

Finished the decals for the MRRC Lotus Cortina today by giving them three coats of clearcoat lacquer. Later in the day I applied them and used the yellow 'Team Lotus' and pin stripe from a Pattos Place set which gave me no end of problems. Done but not 100% happy with the pin stripe.

Car updates
Printed the decals for the MRRC Lotus Cortina today. While doing theses I also printed the overall badges for Dan Gurney in the Weslake Eagle and a few extra tax discs. The badges for dan Gurney are so small that I'm not sure they will be that visable but at least they will be there.
