BigBad Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 After buying this kit in 2015 for a good price, about a month ago I finally decided to take on this big boy to see what I could do of it. I usually build 1/24 big rigs and thought I'd do something different this time.When I first opened the box, I was taken aback and closed it up again telling myself "What am I getting into!" You know what? it wasn't bad at all, after you get used to the sheer size of the parts i was ok with it. Just follow the instruction and use your common sense and everything will work just fine. I was amazed at how most things went together so nicely. The kit could be built right out of the box to a really nice result as the body is already painted from the factory a nice semi-gloss pearl white. Some of the plastic parts had mold swirl marks especially the dashboard and decided to paint the interior "hard" parts Tamiya flat black. I added some photo etched parts from a Tremonia fret that included disc brake faces, some engine parts like the throttle body grilles and some clamps. I also painted the suspension springs and brake calipers Tamiya bright red. I added carpeting to the interior by cutting and sticking self adhesive black velour. If I had to do it over I'd use flocking instead. This kit has 814 parts and all are well molded and fit together quite nicely. I'm happy with the result!

da_ashman Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Awesome build! The Photoetched brakes are a massive improvement over the painted silver ones in the box. Every time I see the Pearl White Convertible I want one!I too am a tad intimidated by the sheer size & number of parts, but I must make more of a start on my Matte Black one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZIL 111V Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Very nice work! beautiful piece. Pocher/Hornby, surely did a great job with the Avendator kit: looks absolutely stunning when completed. Also got the exact same kit at bargain price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
