Tamiya Lotus 49 1:12 scale

[Skyedriver]

Anyone on here completed a build?
I bought the kit some time ago but have bottled even opening it in case it's beyond my capabilities.
Have built smaller stuff and 50 years ago did a similar scale Lauda Ferrari but at 73 my fingers are less nimble for tiny parts.

I did the build about 25 years ago, as usual a great Tamiya kit, so nothing to worry about and because it's so big a lot easier to get a good result.

Bigger the scale easier the build I find as the tiny parts aren't quite as tiny so easier to deal with.

Go for it.

Still looking quite good, for its age. Only the exhaust is hanging quite a bit...

Ah, and I remember, the decals are very thin, and as you can see at the side number base, the green shines through, it was a pita...

OK convinced, I think.
Just need to find some working space.
