Large (1/12 scale?) '60s Lotus F1 car - Japanese Tin Toy -- Some thorough cleaning...


Cleaned the LH side of the engine area.  The Orange lever is for the two speed transmission on this motorized toy (forward = slow, rearward = fast).

Before the cleaning of the RH side of the engine area.  Notice the dirt and the lower trailing arm is bent.

Dirty passenger compartment, before cleaning.

After cleaning.  Also, the RH lower trailing arm has been bent back to be straight...

Took some scotchbrite to the steel rollbar to make it look better...

After all the cleaning.  Looks much better (even though it's hard to tell in the picture).

To illustrate how large this toy is, set next to some normal items...
