Daytona365 Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Bought an original 1987 issue MV Testarossa kit. This was fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top.Secret Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 (edited) You didn't have any fitment issues? I built up the Monogram 512 tr recently, and although there are slight differences in the engine and chassis to this kit, by the looks of it they seem share more similarities. I thought the fitment of the suspension was a nightmare until I tried to fit the body unto the chassis. I tried so many things to get the car body to sit flat unto the chassis and it just refused to. After searching on the internet for awhile I realized I wasn't the only one. Out of rage I delivered several hammerfists to the whole car . Yea I have a bad temper. After my head cleared I felt bad afterwards because I saw someone who had the same problem remedy it by cutting off the sideskirts, which are strangely molded unto the chassis, and instead fixing them unto the body. Ah well... live and learn Edited February 6, 2018 by Top.Secret Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daytona365 Posted February 6, 2018 Author Share Posted February 6, 2018 Only small thing I had an issue w/ was one the body was over the chassis & situated, the front bottom of the chassis wouldn’t stay up to the body. A little glue fixed that. Sorry to hear you had issues. The fitting of the small glass rear window was a bit tricky to but no big deal.

crowe-t Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Nice build! How is the suspension's ride height out of box? I often have to adjust the suspension on many models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
