        I pulled this kit from my stash on May 5, 2019; the night we got home from the GSL.

        1997 reissue of the 1970 Tamiya Lola T-70 Mk III kit. It's been patiently waiting for 22 years in my stash to be built.
        I've been researching, planning and figuring all month. (Actually I was scheming a couple days before in case I didn't find a dream deal on another Caterham kit during the show/trip.)
        It will be built as a street car T-70 replica with some modern upgrades.


        I started by cleaning up the tub and main body panels.
        Lots of filling and sanding Lola T-70 Mk III to remove the twenty ž inch diameter ejection pin marks in the tub alone and general parting lines. But still a nicely molded kit considering its age.


        The insides of the body also needed to be addressed for the same issues.

      With what kind of product did you seal the windshield? I suppose that the flange is not very wide...
      Nice model!

      You're correct, there is not a lot of surface to bond on the windshield. I used epoxy Lola T-70 Mk III to set it into the body. And thanks!

      Congratulations! I think that is in order after a 46 months of pure dedication on such a marathon build! Your build has to be one of the most impeccably detailed models anywhere in the world! Beautiful excecution on all of your work as well. I simply cannot find flaws in your work!! One question I have is: How does it run & drive?
      Cheers,
      Gary

      Exquisite! Unbelievable work on this one. I was eagerly awaiting its completion. Everything from the details to the color scheme is just great.

      I like the electrical wiring. This is what I'm skipping on my models. The reason: there are to many wires...Maybe this is what I could do on the Cadillac V-16: this is really a basic wiring.

      Awesome buildt
      A good buildt of modelcars always need time , so donīt worry about that 46 months full of fun to have a nice hobby.

      As I remember I once had in the 60ties a small LOLA GT model in scale 1:32
      Today I also have some kits waiting for building up since years
      Tamiya Lola T-70 Mk III Honda F 1, Monogram Maserati 3500 GT and the very rare model from Lindberg Ford Cougar II
      Tamiya Lola T-70 Mk III Iīll think have the most detailled models today . In former years of the 60ties it was AURORA or Revell Lola T-70 Mk III
      with models like Jaguar E type or Maserati GT in scale 1:25 or 1:18

      Thanks guys! I am happy with it, and I am glad the journey is over too.

      Yes Roger, wiring is a pain and fortunately what little is visible is relatively rudimentary on these. And wire looms are your friend!
