Lotus JPS Mk.III

Lotus JPS Mk. III

The Kit:

This was my third F1 kit (scale 1/20) I built.
This kit is also from my early 90's modeling period and has been built out of the box.

I'm not particularly into F1 cars from the 70's, but I liked this car because of the simple but beautiful livery. And a pleasant side effect of this simple livery was the fact that it would be rather easy to paint.
Back then I didn't know that Gloss black is a difficult colour to lay down perfectly. But as I didn't know that, all went well.

What didn't work out that great was my decalwork. On the pictures below you can see a lot of silvering, where airbubbles are trapped under the decals. That's a shame, but I like this model anyway.

I built Mario Andretti's car for no particular reason.
