Front end parts, and center section. Fitting them. So far it’s good. This DeAgostini kit is pretty cool. Cannot wait for the other parts to arrive. This has been a long build. 2 years off and on. But it’s worth it. I now have a collection of 1/8 ford cars. Ford GT, Shelby supersnake and the cobra. The paint finish is pretty good. I have not even wiped it down. Has fingerprints all over it and it still looks good. This and the Miura are about the same as far as being a little more complex. But a great building experience.

Received packs 86 to 94 from my friend Mark.rear end complete. Oil coolers and lines connected. Added a few aftermarket decals to spice it up. Need just a few more body parts and it’s complete.

Exhaust and engine fitted in the chassis. Starting to look like a ford GT. Have to wait for the rest of the parts.

Great job!!! The amt kits are very difficult to build. I have a few and yours looks amazing. I look at them and then put them away. Super build! -
Oh my missing packs are for the miura

Hello Bill. The ford GT is pretty cool. I have packs to 19. Are you still waiting for 20?. I guess I’m waiting for some missing packs from agora. I must have misplaced them. So many big kits it’s getting crazy. I will be getting the Porsche 911 Carrera. Building it for Darin. The big wig at DeAgostini. Let you know how that’s going to go.

Hello Chris, sorry I missed you yesterday. Your build is amazing. Looks like you will be ready for the NNL west! -
Thank you Bainford. Yes I would love to detail the Miura a little. My friend that’s helping Agora said that people would complain that ( mine does not look like that!). So this is why it’s stock. I wanted to paint it different also, but no go. After a year or so I can change it. Sooo this is why it’s oob. Here is the dash and interior so far. I’m missing a couple of packs of parts. So we are on hold till they come.

Installed rear brakes ,sway bar over flow tank, supports and fuel filter. Hooked up fuel lines. You have to model this just a little. Some parts are pressed fit but I glue them. Have to file some parts to fit. And make some holes a little bigger for fit. I believe the beginner would have a little difficulty with this kit. But the guys here on this forum will not have a problem at all. For a stock , out of box build, this kit is really nice. The Lamborghini company had less than 100 people when this car was designed and built. And the guys who designed the Miura, were under 30 years old. Absolutely incredible.

Oh yes. But I have to build this out of box. I received this from Agora, no charge , to put it together and see if there are any issues. Out of box only. I just do as I’m told. I have a 1/8 supersnake that I built that way also but I’m going to take it apart, paint it a different color and detail it. It’s been over a year so I can do this now. They let me have freedom on their cobra. It comes blue with the white stripes. They asked how I would do it and they sent me the kit and let her rip. Here is a pic of the cobra. Completely different paint on the , wheels, rollbar and exhaust’s sidepipes. I tell it like it is on these kits. No hiding any issues. Yes I would like to go further on this but I cannot. Maybe in a year or so I’m going to do it different. I have plans for this. Here is the cobra. It’s far different than the stock model.

Yes sir , it is a very expensive kit. I understand about other hobbies and life itself, but if you can, this kit is pretty cool.
