Looks great, just what I wanted to see. Ive got the Lotus 72 sitting in the cupboard and think it might make for a good winter project. I used the Tin Foil on the Tamiya Lotus 25 years ago but that lent itself to the smaller scale with less detail.
@@MKCAUTOMODELWORKS I do love a good JPS scheme.. but I also love the Gold Leaf as well. I`ll build this one as the JPS version. Unless there is a cheap transkit about for the Gold Leaf version.
@@MKCAUTOMODELWORKS Yes. Protar made 2. 1 with metal parts...Tub/Engine etc. and 1 pure plastic. They had many more bits and bobs than Tamiya but the fit was awful. Held on to my metal 1 for 2 years then sold it on. They fetch a good price obviously because there are still plenty out there who have not built them and are none the wiser.
I like that this guy explains what he's doing. Most modellers have stupid music only!
Thank you for the info
Bra jobbat,snyggt
God work,nice
The alloy pain looks good
GREAT video. Lovely job you are doing. Old Tamiya kit - but still a GREAT Tamiya kit. But why did Heller and Protar select the same car?
Thanks allnie...I have no idea...wish Tamiya made a 1/12 scale version of the Brabham BT50...my favorite F1 car!

Thanks Tool Racing...yes a perfect winter build, the Lotus 72 is a beautiful machine! Are you going with the gold leaf or jps (my favorite) version ?

The Protar kit tub is actually Metal! The kit is a nightmare.....Tamiya got it right!!
Hey ekspatriat...is the protar kit the same as the recent italeri release, just made with plastic?
