Hello Bugatti Fan. Yes you’re right. Some of these big kits are off on something. The Lamborghini Muira is also a paint and fit nightmare. The price is also very very expensive. But if you like a big kit these are the only thing out there. I have completed several big kits and they all need something. This is usually where I come in to upgrade, modify and try to improve it somehow. The only kit agora did not let me modify is the Muira. But since it has been out awhile now, I’m going to take her apart and going to change the color and rework her. . If you look at the color of the Muira it is totally unacceptable. I make a pretty good living and find it hard to justify the cost. I just bought at a significant cut in price, a 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO and it still was a lot. There is a transkit out there from Italy and it’s very expensive. I would like it but here again , the cost. If one can , I would buy ay least one , because it would be the centerpiece of your model collection. My friends go directly to the big kits on display. Oh yes and then there is the “where in the heck do you put it ?” These kits in our modeling world are very exclusive. Not many can afford them. Reminds me of the older Ferraris, very very expensive but a Honda civic is more reliable on the street.,not many can afford them and after you own one it’s very expensive. Same with the big kits, they are expensive, but it’s the only thing out there if one can afford it. If it was not for my friend Mark, I would not have tried these big kits. I have to say the latest 1/8 from agora is the corvette. And it’s a neat kit, of course it can use improvement but that’s what modelers do is try to improve it.

Thank you beeRS

Thank you Keef

Painted a 1/8 gullwing

Did a mock up of what I had. Going to look pretty cool. The black on red really makes it.

Thank you Kenmojr

Thank you Moparman

More pics. Not polished yet, will polish after assembly. A lot of handling for assembly.

I painted the Mercedes Gullwing. Painted her in my shed in the background. Took her out for a few pics and pollen had fallen all over her. Not to worry , the paint is dry. So far she’s comming out great.

Sorry for the very slow reply, but yes it is a eaglemoss kit. If you are in the middle of a build and eaglemoss did not provide you parts, agora will help with your build. The cobra 427 is a very good build. The only thing in the cobra is that you have to modify the side exhaust. I modified mine to be parallel to the body. Here is a pic of my agora cobra.

Very nice! Where did those beautiful wheels come from?

I remember this car ! My friend had a Vega wagon and this was his favorite.

Here is a pic of her painted. This kit is a pain. But I am determined to get her finished.

WOW!!!! Very nice!!!

Great build! I also would buy a LFA. A super dependable super car! If I only can hit the lottery!LOL! Cool build!

MPC Toyota 2000 GT. 1/25.

Beautiful sir! Another fantastic project from the CT Design Studio.

There are builds that are just cool. This is one of those builds. I just look at it and it just makes you feel good. Great job

Sweeeeeeeet!!!!! Man this is nice!!!!!!

Great job! I also am collecting the old monogram, and Jo-Han kits. Yours looks great. Super in every way

P.S. the ford GT is a pretty good kit , be careful of the door posts, they are little fragile. I broke one of mine and soldered it with a special product from my work. Then primed it and resprayed it. Just a heads up

Hello Bill! Glad to hear from you! My buddy Mark had this one. He started it by stripping the paint and primed it. So I know it was done correctly. I bought the whole kit from him. I wanted the body to be as straight as I can get it. So I’m taking my time on this one. There is a trans kit that’s going to be available soon. The price is probably going to be very very expensive. Marks trying to talk me into that one. I guess that Centauria, agora and DeAgostini are the same kit. Looking at the parts, and talking to people all over the world, that the kit assembles nice. Going to paint her soon. Was going to paint it Sunday but was reminded that it’s Mother’s Day…… so it will be painted another day. Talk to you soon.

Primed again. Looking pretty straight. Painted the underside of the hood and deck lid.

Very very nice

I had a stroke several years ago. This is how I got into the hobby. Had prostate cancer 1 year ago. Some how dodging the bullet . Just had a friend pass last month. Several friends passed a year ago. I guess I’m getting that age where my buddies and I are older and life is more precious than ever. Build while you can! Rest in peace Snake. Model on buddy.
