martinfan5 Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Calling this one done, sadly, this was the best I could do, it looks like a pile of you know what, but I feel good that I at least finished it. When getting the doors attached, the center section that holds the doors in place, while holding in it place waiting for the glue to dry, it came lose and slide across the left door and down the side, of course, leaving a trail of glue behind on the windows. I did the best I could with getting the panels to line up, but again, uphill battle with the wrapped chassis plate and not being able to get back in its 100% correct shape. Plus all the other issues. Painted with Lotus Isotope Green from Scale Finishes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisR Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Looks great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaymcminn Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Looks good regardless of the problems. I'm pretty leery about jumping into this one...it looks overly complicated and pretty tough to get all the opening panels to fit. Wild color!

Dragline Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Not sure why you call this a pile. It's outrageous in color and well built. Hope mine comes out as nice when it crosses the bench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bennyg Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Turned out nice! Great colour choice. I started the 2016 NSX instead of the Pagani due to the trouble I saw you have. I'll probably do an FXX-K also before tackling the Pagani. Cheers.Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dann Tier Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Sorry to hear this kit was that much trouble, if your chassis plate wasn't warped, do you think it would have fit together better, other than the obvious front clip issue? strange how it appears that the passenger side is "off", but the driver side looks good. I feel your frustration, I just started working on mine. I know that it probably doesn't make you feel any better, but I think it looks pretty nice still Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funkychiken Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Well it looks great from the pics! It's such an expensive kit too, shame it didn't go together too well, you can't see the streak of glue on the window, so you've done well to clean it up... Do feel for you, it happens to me all too often... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dann Tier Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Hey, Jonathan, how did you manage to strip the plating off your wheels?.......I think this plating is bullet proof!, mine has been soaking in Bleech White now for two days, and it doesn't want to budge! I even took a piece out and scrubbed it.......no luck. Bleech Whyte has never taken this long, or failed me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
