I’m watching this!!!

Cool build. This kit is pretty fun. A while back I won the 49 merc at a swap meet. Sat in my closet for a long time. I am into 30’s, 50’s and sixty’s cars. Not interested in 40’s cars. Well this Hobby is pretty cool. I built the 49 merc. I took about a dozen cars to the NNL West. And out of all of my cars , model car magazine wanted to take a pic of the 49 merc. I thought out of all of my cars they pic that one? Well you never know what is a hit. Soo the car gets into the magazine and is a big hit for our IPMS club. I guess I’m a 40’s car guy also. I will build another. They are pretty cool. Yours is a home run.

Fantastic!!! I was never into 1/8 but it seems it’s all I build. Great job! Fantastic car . I will be following this for sure. Just cool!!!

Very cool!!!!

This is cool!!!

Interior comming along.

Here are wiring pics. It sure has a lot of them. The exhaust is installed. The dash is pretty cool. There is a switch in the ignition. The key actually works. Glove box door opens and closes. The center console opens and closes also. So far I’m very impressed with this kit.

Hello Bill, great to hear from you! I will be asking you questions on this one. Thanks for the input on this build. I’m waiting for the paint on this car. I ordered the paint from Wesco automotive products. This is a automotive paint supply. They are mixing the actual color code for a black 1955 Gullwing. Hopefully it will be here this week. As far as parts go, you can get the rest of the Eagle moss parts from agora. They will work. Here is what started the whole big scale build. A Toyota 2000 GT. It was featured in scale auto years ago. He gave it to me to see how far it would go. It also was the cover car for the NNL West in 2021 . I think it was 2021. So now I am building for DeAgostini and Agora. Kind of just lucked out. I custom paint some customer cars also when requested. The bendix yellow Toyota went to England I believe.

Hello Noel, I do not buy these expensive kits. My friend Mark is part of Agora (Liam’s team here in the USA. )I build them, review them and sometimes get to go all out on them. Mark lets me know what I can do. But I get to keep them. I just did the Lamborghini Miura and had to build it out of the box. (This kit is a difficult build. ). The Gullwing, I get to change the color. Black was suggested so black it goes. If you need to know if they are a good kit, I can help or Bill( Mr Obsessive) is very knowledgeable on these kits.

My Friend Mark just might have an extra chassis. He is going out of town for a week or so, but when he gets back he said he will look .

Yes Rich, the scale is weird . It could be built as a remote control or static model. I built it static but with just a few mods you could turn it into a remote. If you did , it is supposed to go 30 mph.

Here is the Muira finished. Was a very demanding build. Starting the 1955 Mercedes Gullwing. Painting that black with red interior.

Great job Rich!!! I did one but it is 1/7 scale. Thought you might get a kick out of the size. The Toyota f1 car is 1/24 for reference.

Monogram 55 Chevy. One of the best kits I have ever put together.

Great job! Love these

Ok Claude, you fit it in a van, I’m trying to fit an Allison in a jeep. Not going very well. But I’m still trying.

Painted the wheels gold. Had to adjust the rear suspension. The stance is acceptable now.

The chassis is really something to look at. I’m going to put it all together. Unfortunately the chassis is buried in there . If I can talk the agora guys to give me a separate frame, it would make a great display .

Modified the suspension. Cut the front springs. Did a mock up of the car. The stance was really bad. Looked like a motorboat. Starting to come around.

Here we go, just received this today. Repainting the car black. Mark said black with the red interior will be cool looking. So it shall be black.

Thank you for the pics! My favorite is the Sunoco can am car. I think it has like 1 million horsepower. LOL

Cool! Other wheels , are they pantera campi wheels! Let’s see that project also.

I love Ferrari’s. Going to watch this!
