Ajay Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 Got round to finishing this one off today The kit went together nicely although if I was to build it again I'd be tempted to follow Zoom Zoom MX5 & glue the doors closed before spraying it to get a flush fit & even gaps around the scissor doors. Thanks for looking Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve H. Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Came out very nice! These "Uptown" kits are well engineered and pretty fun to build, but I agree that the Lambo doors need to go away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoom Zoom Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Came out very nice! These "Uptown" kits are well engineered and pretty fun to build, but I agree that the Lambo doors need to go away. It did turn out nice 8) I am tempted to get another STS-V and see if I can keep the Lambo doors, but do the same work to the doors I did on the glued-shut version; the doors need a bit of styrene strip to make the openings smaller. I just wonder if the doors could close completely w/o being out of kilter. Also one could potentially make the doors work normally, with a different hinge arrangement. The sky's the limit. Kits like this are simple enough in overall construction to be fun to build and modify w/o them becoming so overbearing that they end up half-finished inside the box never to see the light of day again.

Ajay Posted March 19, 2007 Author Share Posted March 19, 2007 looks stock.......but modified. i love it! very nice work. out of box build? Pretty much except for the rims - in the end I didn't add the engine plate as the detail is minimal. I didn't add the trunk speakers etc as the end of the trunk fouled the rear window glass and I was scared of the paint chipping. Thanks for the comments Guys Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
