Jim B Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 The only fit issue I've had with mine so far are the hood pins! I cannot get them to line up properly & I think the hood is hitting the top of the radiator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim B Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Beware the Dreaded Red Plastic! It bleeds through just about everything & turns it pinkish! It's absolutly horrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scalper Posted September 3, 2014 Author Share Posted September 3, 2014 hopefully Tamiya grey primer will do the trick. .. red not fun ,... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Buckaroo Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 I have found Tamiya primer to work very well on odd molded colors. This looks like a nice kit , hope to see you get back on it after seeing the start date on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roadrunner Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 The decals look awesome, and I had no clue that the Italeri kit of parts was ever produced; I may try to track down a kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scalper Posted February 5, 2015 Author Share Posted February 5, 2015 Thanks. I might do a fade paint on the hood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pavel A. Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 (edited) Andre, good work. But be carefull by front wheels (or front axle). The biggest problem by these W900 kits is that the front wheels are not in centre of fenders. Look carefull on the picture there is on the box, you can see it. This problem is on Kw w900 RoG. Monogram snap is o.k. Just glue front axle maybe 1or 2 milim. back on chassis. Paul. Edited February 5, 2015 by Pavel A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The front of the hood doesn't line up with the bumper, either. Gives it a litte bit of an under-bite look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scalper Posted February 5, 2015 Author Share Posted February 5, 2015 Thanks for the heads up Paul Might have to take the front axle appart now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
