The Lola T70 MK.III: A Brief History of the Model

The Lola T70 is one of the most charismatic and beautiful prototypes in the history of motorsport. Designed by Eric Broadley in the mid-1960s, it competed in Can-Am, Le Mans, and various European endurance championships. The MK.III version, with a closed coupe body, was the one that took to the grid in the major endurance events of the late decade, winning the hearts of fans worldwide. Its unmistakable silhouette remains a benchmark aesthetic in high-end slot car modelling today.

Applications: What is this Body Kit for?

• Restoration: replace a broken or damaged body of your Thunderslot Lola T70 MK.III without needing to purchase a complete car.
• Customization: recreate a specific historical livery, a club scheme, or a completely original design.
• Painting and Modelling Projects: the white body is a perfect canvas for practicing airbrushing, masking, or weathering techniques.

Preparation and Painting Tips

Before painting, thoroughly clean the body with warm water and a little neutral soap to remove any possible release agent residues. Apply a coat of primer (compatible with plastic) before the base colour to ensure adhesion. Modelling acrylic paints —Vallejo, Tamiya, or Kaleido— perform particularly well on this type of surface. If you are looking for a glossy competition finish, finish with a clear coat after applying the decals.

Ideal for...

• Slot enthusiasts who want to customize their garage with unique historical liveries.
• Club drivers looking to visually differentiate themselves on track.
• Modellers interested in painting techniques applied to scale slot cars.
• Collectors who need to restore a piece of their Thunderslot collection.
