Gunze Sangho 1:24 Lotus Elan S3
Discussion
Following my 1:24 Land Rover Series III and Porsche GT3 builds, I'm using another of my cars as inspiration for this one.
Whilst it's an S3 kit I'll be trying to make it look a little like my S4 Sprint.
I'm getting daring this time round and trying to use some masking tape. I'll still be painting everything by brush though.
Wish me luck.

Having fun then....did it come with rubber cv-doughnuts too?
Yes it does come with them ... but nowhere for them to be fitted. The instructions explicitely call them out as not being used (along with four other plastic parts - a steering wheel rim and boss, and two unidentified half moon shapes).
I'm impressed with the kit; not obvious from the box is that it can be built as either a FHC or DHC version.

Anyway O/P, it's coming along very nicely!
I wasn't confident enough to go for the Hi-Tech version, so I get to keep the bonnet closed.
My only real problem so far has been with the decals splitting/not adhering; the price to pay for an old kit I guess.
I'm impressed with the kit, especially the rubber parts - the interior (seats, door panels) and hood cover are very nice.
Some of the pieces were too tiny for me to be able to fit neatly (the side indicator repeaters for the front wings for example), and the decals mostly split or wouldn't adhere, but it went together pretty well.
