Kpnuts 332 Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Hi all here is one I did was bought for me by my wife for my 60th. I didn't do it red I did blue (same colour as our car at the time) then I took it back out of the shed and had another go at it I much prefer the second version. Here is the first build of it. And here is the start of the new build 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kpnuts 332 Posted March 29 Author Share Posted March 29 Hi Mark it is well overpriced I had to add loads of detail thats not in the kit and everything is screwed together with Philips screws spent loads of money on the right bolts torx screws Allen bolts and such. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kpnuts 332 Posted April 4 Author Share Posted April 4 Once I started this rebuild I knew straight away I would prefer the look as I already loved the black on the engine. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I actually had to look twice on a couple of them to make sure, and even then I questioned that it was a model...... it sure looks like a real engine.... 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Like Harv and Jeff I am sitting here thinking that is a real engine (knowing it is not). Fabulous outstanding work sir. I am truly impressed. Jerry 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kpnuts 332 Posted April 4 Author Share Posted April 4 As I may have said before this kit was way over priced and felt like they had been penny pinching from the start, for instance nearly all the electrical connections are moulded but not implemented they don't even supply an assortment of wires for you to add the wiring ( I mean what would that have cost I would happily spent another tenner on the kit if they had added them) It was really hard finding the correct thickness of wire for each part in the right scale. Even a lot of the decals were the wrong scale and had to be replaced. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
