The Lola T280/290 in white: your canvas to recreate a classic sports prototype
The reference NSR1562 is the white body kit of the legendary Lola T280/290, one of the most iconic sports prototypes from the early seventies. NSR offers it unpainted, in white plastic, so you can apply the livery of your choice with complete freedom: from faithful historical reproductions to your own designs and unique creations.
Kit features
- Unpainted white plastic body, ready for preparation and decoration.
- Replica of the Lola T280/290 prototype, with the characteristic aerodynamic lines of the real model.
- Designed to fit the corresponding NSR chassis, with the brand's specific adjustments and tolerances.
- Surface suitable for model paints and airbrushing (Vallejo, Tamiya, Kaleido, Ammo, among others).
- Finished in smooth white, facilitating priming and decal application.
Customisation possibilities
The white kit format is the ideal starting point for both the enthusiast who wants to reproduce a historical livery and for those who prefer to design their own decoration. The surface of the plastic accepts direct priming well with an airbrush or brush, and water decals adhere easily once the appropriate varnish is applied.
If you are looking for historical references, the Lola T280/290 competed in the World Manufacturers' Series in the early seventies, sporting liveries from teams like Gulf, Bonnier, or Scuderia Filipinetti, among others. Reproducing them is one of the most rewarding projects for any slot car and competition modelling enthusiast.
Assembly and preparation
As this is a loose body kit, it is advisable to check the fitting points before painting, and to gently sand any burrs or mould lines to achieve a perfectly smooth surface. A layer of primer will ensure the adhesion of the colours and provide uniformity to the final finish.
Ideal for…
- Collectors who want to decorate their own version of the Lola T280/290.
- Slot car enthusiasts looking to replace a damaged body or customise the livery of their competition car.
- Modellers seeking a quality plastic base for advanced painting work.
- Clubs and themed races featuring 1970s prototypes.
