Mirage Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 All the way through the painting and basic assembly this is a really enjoyable kit. It has the perfect combination of logical components and challenging painting. The frustration comes when fitting the chassis to the base. The exhausts simply do not fit through the holes in the real fender. In the recent assembly I just did this caused the back section to break off and I had to glue it back on. This was a frustrating end to what had been a great build. My advice would be to definitely buy this model if you are an Audi fan but don't fix the exhausts on until the very end.

Mirage Posted April 3, 2012 Author Share Posted April 3, 2012 Sorry, not of the actual problem itself. It occurred as I was fixing the chassis on and I was in too much of a hurry to glue it back together to take a photo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickRollerLT1 Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Watch out for extreme warpage on the frame, that bugger can be real nasty to untwist, expically when trying to fit the completed frame to the body during final assembly. I had that problem on two I built. First one was the Revell AG kit I tried my hand @ 4yrs ago, which I cracked the body during final fitiment ($40 down the crapper! ), and the US reboxed version I got for $7 on clearence, which I just finished and will post in the under glass thread soon.
