Honest Lola T92 & EX body shells

More 1/8th scale body shells, this time from Japanese firm Honest who have released 2 new versions, a Lola T92 and Lola EX. The Lola EX is your standard high downforce affair that fits easily on most 1/8th scale on road chassis’, while the Laura T92 is the second body to be seen this week with a cockpit in place of the driver. I don’t believe that either have been so far approved for racing but if you still want one, they are available now.
