Lola T70 by Top Slot. In Sunoco and BonGrip colours

The Top Slot body is quite superb, it was designed to go on the MRRC plastic chassis (I hear you grimace!) and that is what I used. I would have preferred to put it on EJ's Monogram clone but they are getting a bit expensive nowadays. The decal set it comes with is excellent, the Penske Sunoco car as raced by Mark Donahue. I had to buy two (like you do!) as the body shape is so good and made the first car as standard. The most difficult bit was the wheels so check out on the modellers tips section how I did them (click the "wheels" link above).

The second car was done in the Joe Bonnier BonGrip colours. The body was painted yellow and then the fun began. A thick white stripe was cut from decal sheet and applied, followed by the numbering. The numbers came from Fly's Ferrari 512S (the one with the separate decal sheet). Perfect. The Bon Grip decals were made by simply getting the most suitable typeface in Microsoft Word, printing the right size and then printing onto decal paper. The decals were applied and then the top and bottom lines were added. The red stripe was then added and finally the whole lot was sprayed over with clear laquer.
