The kit is not the full kit that is shown in the photo. Is missing all the bolts for the control arms and the support rods for the rear spoiler. I contacted the seller twice because he didn't reply the first time. When he reply, he says that the kit does not have those parts because to tiny to print (the kit has the wheel stud printed, those are tiny too), and that if he were build the kit he would use some metel pin or wire. And bor the bolts to use some photo etch. I reply to him, but he never answer. To me this is very misleading. You shows a kit with all the parts, and is not. In the description of the kit also there is no mention of the missing parts. If I knew there was missing parts, was a different story. Also because this is a commission kit, and I would have saved 20 days and not get behind to build it. Luckly the person that commission it, and gave me the link to buy it, understand the situation. Another thing about this "kit" is that came with coilovers and some regular shocks, for what, I have not idea. Make you think... Also the seats are very small, they looks like 1/32scale. This maybe has to do with who design it.

Source for white metal requested

True on both. Another trick I used in the past, is to put pins where you can. After glueing the parts together, I drilled a hole like 0.02mm and glued a same diameter wire. In some area works, I know your kit is very small and maybe only few parts can be secured this way. But when you have the main parts secured with pins, like chassis, suspension, the rest can relay on the glue alone. You can also try to brazing the withe metal, with a torch. There are some small butane torch that can be handy. I never try it, because the laser welder is cleaner and faster. I f you have some white meta spare parts, It would be a interesting idea to see the results. I can also look if I have some withe metal left over that I can send you. -

Recently I received some old transkit, and they have white metal parts. Few transkit have a rollcage, and I was wondering the same, if was possible to soldering insted to use CA glue. I cleaned up the parts, because the flashing. But since these transkit are old, rare to find, I opted to laser weld all the rollcage parts. It works great and is pretty solid. I welded different material, even diecast. It could be tricky, but it is doable. As soon I start to build this kit, I'm going to post photos. -
Thank you Anton. Some parts could be little difficult to understand their placement. Since there is no instructions. You have to look the photos over and over, also photos of the real car. It is all fun!

Finally some progress on this one. I almost forgot this kit. The chassis is completed, I redid the shocks, adding a real metal spring, and also modified the front hubs, so now the car can steer.

Revell chrome paint is great! I did some test last year and very happy with the result. Also can be spray on non prepped parts (parts with no primer). They sell it on Amazon for $37,99 and free shipping.

Thank you Bruce! It's going to be a fun project!

Sorry I forgot to reply. The seller is madmanmodels. I notice the seats on the Hoonicorn that were way to small. Maybe they did them that way to fit inside the car. Cheers

Finally after the bad experience with the "kit" from madmammodels, found a 3D file and got the body off the printer last week. This week I should be able to get all the parts. Here the car The body printed

Update on this Jaguar. Here the chassis and the engine finally together. Wheels and tires got the first pass of paint. Second pass of paint on the wheels and tires. I will do a third when the body is installed on the chassis. And finally attached on the chassis.

Thank you Atin! The camo design is a partnership that LB Works did with Bape, you can see the gorrilla head on it. They use this camo desing on several cars. And also recently dey did a set of 4 cars. No a lambo tho. That's why I did. Cheers

Anyone got a Mattel Power Shop?
Brizio replied to OldNYJim's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I saw it years ago in a antique mall. I think it had also a box. I though it was pretty cool, and surprise that was offer as a tool for kid. But that was another era... I though als since it was made for kids, maybe was under power. Glad to know it works well. -
Gone! That was fast!

Yes is free, and I'm going to ship in the US for free! I was thinking to toss it in the garbage, but I though somebody could do something with it. I bought this kit on ebay for a commission build, once I received there was few parts missing. I contacted the seller asking about these parts, but according to him these parts are not incluede, although pictured... Before anybody ask about the missing parts, yes I can totally build them, but since with my client we agree on a price and time for build it. I prefer stick to it. If you want it send me a message. Here the "kit". Here the parts missing that I know.

Thank you Anthony! I like too LB wide bodies. Thank you Charles! The car can be posed as slammed or lift to normal height. Slammed is better for me. Thank you Bill! If you look close you che se the Bape logo on the camo!
-
Finally done! I toke me 5 months to build it, that is pretty good for my standard, but it seems an eternity. Aoshima gave me this kit last year as part of a collaboration. Fun kit to build, all the parts fit together without any issue. In fact you can almos build it without glue. WIP link Liberty Walk is famous for the custom works they do on these cars.Recently they did some cars with the camo Bape design, since I like this clothing brand I decided to build this Lamborghini with the famous camo.

Made a quick spare tire removal for the Jaguar. Spare tire removal

Shark! Shark! The shark mouth decal is added, now the A Bathing Apo camo is complete. Also added all the parts to the body, engine headlights, taillights, windows... The only thing missing to call it completed is the rear spoiler and the engine cover.

Some update on the Fiat 500! Made some metal hinges for teh front and rear hood. On the left is the one for the front, and right the two for the rear. The one for the rear I will cut and bend them in a "L" shape. Front and rear hood cut from the body. Because the kit does not have engine for the rear, and gas tank and trunk bay for the front of the car, I will have to make some pieces...

Thank you Andy! They are pretty cool car, and agree you should have ask for a ride!
