Marvelous Loti both, no doubt very good craftsmanship. Just one remark about historical accuracy (if you think that important): the black extension fixed to the radiator you only found on the Gold Leaf cars when these were given the deep air ducts in the nose (Italy 1968 if I am correct). In order to make the nose removable it had to be split in an upper and lower part.The black part which was a fixed insert in the nose on the green cars had to be fixed to the radiator then. For evidence check the Michael Oliver book, for example. Of course, this doesn't detract from Laurent's models: I would be proud to have them in my collection.

Beste Harm bedoel je dat het zwarte stuk voor de radiator verwijderd zou moeten worden?
Wellicht heeft MFH daar een steekje laten vallen en kan Laurent daar niets aan doen, ik kan dat niet meer zien want de bouwtekening is in Singapore achtergebleven.
Ik ben over het algemeen zeer tevreden over Laurent maar ook hij maakt kennelijk vergissingen of doet zijn huiswerk niet 100% want ik krijg de indruk dat de bougiekabels ook niet van de goede kant komen maar wellicht is dit ook te wijten aan MFH.
Jij bent kennelijk ook een fan van de lotus 49!
Groeten en bedankt voor het commentaar!

The above text is in Dutch only to understand better what could be wrong with the model, we are both from the Netherlands you see.

Also see the Lotus 49C of Emerson Fittipaldi in the 1970 Britisch GP, also build by Laurent Tay from the MFH super kit, in a new topic.
