Here's the Lotus Esprit that I just finished. This is another one of those open-box kits that I'm trying to get through. The only thing missing from this kit was a piece of glass, but I was able to cut the window from clear styrene, so it wasn't too bad. Other than that, the only other thing I did was add flocking - one color for the interior, and black for the trunk. The finish is Wet and Wild Burgundy Mist nail polish on top, with a mixture of Testors gray, silver, and steel on the bottom. Oh, let's open the top and use the sunroof for the rest of the pics: When you lift the back hatch, you get to the trunk and the engine cover: Lifting the engine cover, you can view the engine: Here's one last final parting shot:

Beautiful build. Looks like you put alot into this one. I don't have any idea about this kit, so was the sunroof peel back part of the kit, or did you scratch it together.

The opaque roof came with the kit - I used the opaque roof for a pattern to cut the clear to make the sunroof
