The Beauty and the Beast - Lola T70

| Slot Car Lola T70 h0 Custom #42 Tourist Trophy 1968 #2 Brands Hatch 1967 |
Ein Lola T70 in h0 1:64 stand lange auf der Wunschliste. Irgendwann wurden zwei Karosserien erworben. Im Original aus sehr dünnem Kunststoff, tiefgezogen und extrem verbeult und ungenau. Immer wieder kamen die Modelle auf den Arbeitstisch. Auffüllen, schleifen, schneiden, füllen, schleifen. Nachdem die meisten Schwachstellen ausgebessert waren, wurden Motorhalterungen für die AFX Magna Traction Chassis installiert, grundiert, lackiert und Decals von Pattos aufgebracht. Die Wahl fiel auf die #42 mit Danny Hulme, Tourist Trophy 1968 und #2 John Surtees (GB)/David Hobbs (GB), Brand Hatch 1967. Man könnte sich besser detaillierte Modelle wünschen. Leider habe ich noch keine besseren gefunden. Auf der Bahn wirken die beiden Lol T70 recht gut und die leichte Karosserie fährt sich sehr gut. Mit den beiden Rennwagen aus der Saison 1967 und 1968 wächst die
Sammlung an Rennwagen der 1960 und 1970 an. |
| Custom Slot Car Lola T70 - Danny Hulme, John Surtess and David Hobbs |
A Lola T70 has been on the wish list for some time. Eventually two bodies were purchased. The bodies are vacuum formed from thin Polystyrene, with many flaws and little detail. Because they were the only ones to be found over a longer period of time, they were made into #42 with Danny Hulme winning the Tourist Trophy in 1968 and #2 with John Surtees (GB) and David Hobbs (GB) appearing at Brands Hatch in 1967. It took several attempts to prepare the bodies. Filling, sanding, cutting, filling, sanding until the bodies could be primed and painted. Decals from Pattos were applied and the clear coated. The two run on AFX Magna Traction chassis. Mounts for these chassis had been installed to the bodies earlier on. Even thou the two cars lack details they have become a nice addition to the growing collection of race cars of the 1960s and 1970s.
