Lotus Super Seven Series 2 Club Racer
This is a Lotus Super 7 with, in terms of Lotus subculture, “all the right stuff”. It’s based on the 1/24th scale Tamiya kit built pretty much straight out of the box with the exception of the Lotus “wobbly” magnesium wheels. Along with the bare metal aluminum body panels and the kit-supplied Cosworth-Ford motor with twin Webers, the wobblies complete the list of high-status details. Of course the fact that it’s a pukka Lotus S2 as opposed to a mere Caterham replica will get you respect on both track days and at the Concourse. The wobblies were cast by Dave Bantoft, a very fine modeler in Australia, who generously supplied me with them. Thanks Dave! The bare metal finish was achieved with a combination of Spaz Stix Ultimate Mirror Chrome and Kosutte Ginsan metalizing powder. The fiberglas body parts and the roll over bar are finished in Tamiya TS-43 Racing Green. In keeping with the club racer theme I deleted the rear spare tire. The interior surfaces are finished in Testors Acryl Signal Red. Chrome bits were picked out in Molotow Chrome paint.
This was my first Tamiya kit and the precision fit and detail accuracy made the experience a genuine pleasure.
Thanx for lookin’,

Another masterpiece Bernard !! It looks like you went all out on this one - kudos
