you do real nice work. I'm thinking of stripping chrome and reapplying later after sanding and other prep. But, as you said the parts are delicate the less you handle them the better
The iconic and stunning beauty Lotus 49 Chassis R2 is synomymous with this man: JIM CLARK - By far the greatest driver ever - no doubt. He is and was "The Best of the Best" (Fangio, Senna, Prost, Stewart and countless others about Clark). No other driver in history until today was so superior as Clark - No other driver as so much "Grand Slam" - Pole/Win/Fastest Lap/Leading every lap of the race - like him. And all that from just 72 starts... ! This man is the Olymp of driving - the Michelangelo of racing - a dynamic art at the highest level. So smooth, so precise, so fast....simply out of this world. One, who won in Spa by 5 minutes (!) in monsoon rain with only one hand at the wheel (!) because of gearbox trouble...One, who takes back a complete lap (!) in Monza and back into the lead... One, who took pole on the original 22,8 km Nürburgring track by 9 (!) seconds and more....One who won Indy by 2 whole (!) laps...For eternity and by lightyears unmatched in the sport. That`s just four examples of his mesmeric unique genius...
Nice video mate, just about to begin my build of this kit, thanks for the inspiration. I can remember seeing Jim Clark & Graham Hill driving their 49s through London in 1967 at the head of the Lord Mayors Show & have loved these cars ever since.
Really gorgeous - love the 60s cars. Thanks.
Thank you.

Thank you sir! I would love to see one of these cars in person, not to mention one of the drivers.
Stunning build of a Beautiful car. I have recently got the 72C Lotus. Looking forward to building her.
Many thanks for your comment. I have the 72C in my stash!
Great! The luster of the beautiful cowl and the mechanical feel of the engine are fused!👍

La Lotus 49 n'est pas une voiture. La Lotus 49 est un bijou.
Good Content!
Which Tamiya Spray Can did you use for the 'Lotus Green' - ?
TS-43 Racing Green. Thanks!
@@scalemodelmaker659 Thanks!
I scratch built a lotus 49 in 1/4 scale.
I'm sure that is an awesome model!
@@scalemodelmaker659 thank you, if you want to see a photo let me know where to send it?
Fantastic build, mate. I'm doing the Tamiya Lotus Super 7 in a Team Lotus livery too. Check it out if you get the chance! 👍
I've been considering the Lotus Super 7 from Tamiya. I'll check out your build!
@@scalemodelmaker659 it's well worth it and like nothing else in my collection.
