One day, while painting Lotus & BRM models for the Racing Sets they mixed up the bodies and made a batch of Red Lotus models. What? You never heard of that? Neither had I but one can dream. Anywho, just think how nice this little guy will look in that sea of green and orange Lotus models in the display cabinet.
It's got my own home made decals on it. The real truth is that the Joe paint factory mixed up the Lotus and BRM models and I reversed the racing set colors by accident (Doh!). Since the models were for someone else, I had to find another Lotus, make it orange and strip/re-do the BRM. I liked this Lotus in red so much I finished it to completion.
