Lotus 10 Goodwood 1955 #71 Anthony by MEA Kit 43
We weren't overly impressed with MEA's kit of the Lotus 8 released a few months back and this will also need a fair amount of work. The basic shape isn't too bad but the panel engraving and smaller details are all very rough and will need a lot of work. The kit is generally quite simple with just a few resin parts, decent wire wheels, vac-form and clearly printed decals. The first hand builts that we received were sent straight back and the replacements sent by return aren't much better, with many imperfections and sanding marks showing through the paint. Not good enough.

About MEA Kit 43
An interesting range initially specialising in 1:43 motorcycles. The nature of the subjects and the size of many of the parts mean that these are best suited to those with good eyesight! Casting quality is variable and this combined with the size puts them firmly in the 'for the experienced modeller' category.
Alongside the bikes are a number of Dakar raid subjects and early Lotus race cars, again offered as kits and hand builts. The SPL series is hand built only and concentrates on very unusual race cars. Build quality is basic, variable and nowhere near the class leaders and usually presented in recycled Spark cases. Very interesting subjects that may otherwise not be modelled and therefore for the hardcore collector.
Made in France.
