Nice collection Mathias.
I have the three Lotus models that you show, are there any more Lotuses in the super GT range?.

The only major colour variation of the Lotus Europa missing in the picture above is the metallic blue one, shown here with two different shades of tampo printing:

While there are surely more minor variations to find, the Lotus is a Super GT model with fewer such minor variations than most other Super GTs. Most importantly, it is one of those few which come with the baseplate lettering reading front to rear or rear to front.

By the way, you can of course always have a look at the Super GT section of my website:

Some of the Super GTs like the Europa and the Iso are actually halfway decent toys worth collecting to show alongside the classic originals,a dumbing down that was far more obvious with other brands..........

Sorry I do not understand; please explain!

So far I have never noticed any differences on this model's baseplates, but as in many other cases there may be something I have overlooked. Anyway the Super GT Hi-Tailer was only made in China:

I dont know of any base differences either on the Hi-Tailer but there are some to the body. (I still need a single brace yellow & an open 3 brace white one).

As usual you are welcome to use the pics Christian. Have some more to sort out for you.
cheers

nice clean models Mathias, I see quite a few I've been searching for.

I've been sorting mine out today, and took a few fotos for Christian.

Beige Escort - no tampo.
Image

Red Escort - no tampo, though I'm not 100% sure tabout this one as theres some rough areas to the bonnet edges which make me suspect its been wiped clean.
Image

Yellow Escort - tampo shades.
Image

Blue Escort - tampo shades
Image

Fire chief - diff size rear letters
Image

Blue Lotus - tampo shades
Image

Green Monteverdi - Gold & dark gold tampo
Image

Orange Monteverdi - Tampo shades
Image

Blue Monteverdi - & just for a change its.......tampo shades...... :lol:
Image

I have more to sort through tomorrow. I took more pics today but i forgot to bring my notes home with me to make sense of them.

cheers
