Having used the majority of the kit to build a Tradesman's Truck last year, leaving the Lumina body, I cobbled this together. I couldn't find No 46 decal set in the UK so I used 'stickers'.

Thanks Matt. I'm trying to build the suspension, brakes to mount the wheels. The kit body is dull black and it looks like someone had a go with some kitchen cleaning object, perhaps a scourer on both the body and windows, breaking the back window and it has no decals either.

Now, another problem. I have bought online an already started kit, I buy a few as a pensioner new kits are expensive. The kit has no instructions! It is an Aoshima Nissan Cima Y32, I have tried almost all avenues/websites to obtain a copy of the instructions but to no avail. This is the kit, as you will see there is no English text on the box! Only that it is kit no. 040577, there are other kits by Aoshima and for the Nissan Cima Y32 in standard form. It's also known as an Aoshima Bunka Kyozai. Or Shakotan Boogie Mizutani's I'm hoping that the other kits have a standard chassis as that is what I'm trying to build.

That's OK Harry no Probs!

Cheers Mark yes the stickers are interesting! Nearly there! Rollcage in and exhaust attached!

Yes Mark they are one touch self adhesive stickers! You have just one choice!

Thanks Mark I would like to double up the white over red decals, but they are very thin glossy plastic stickers. Test fitted onto the chassis while I think about adding dash, steering and making a roll-cage.

Cheers Mark, now the stickers are on! A bit opaque on the 46 over the red but all right otherwise, but as stickers very, very fiddly with tweezers!

Cheers Steve, I'm now trying to use the Lumina body left over plus bits to build a Nascar no.46!

Bit more done. A bit ropy around the windscreen, after continued tries to reduce it'size to get it to fit.

Superb! As an ex-rally marshal, now retired I remember these on the stages, noisy with flames belching out of the exhaust into the bends on the overrun!

Scratchbuilt chassis, painted wheels and body, fitted a difficult rear window, later a front window but both seem to be too big! Most of the Lumina kit was used in a Tradesman truck build last year.

Wheels and body painted and rear window attached, a right pain as both front and rear seem to be too big!

Painted wheels and body and added rear windscreen a right pain! A scratchbuilt chassis as the original was used on a Nascar Tradesman's Truck last year!

Superb finish!

Thanks Les, they are similar images as I have, but wanting to do a black and white print to take out into the cabin, didn't work I don't have any red at present but like I do, I have a very nice bright Orange, so that's my tribute to the scratch-build! Here we are so far, with the one piece chassis! Here are the 'sticker' set, impressive, screen printing!

Thanks guys, unfortunately No.46 but not the Superflo version on either. We can't get the decals for these in the UK but I have had delivery a set of very good 'stickers' so in fact I can see images on my PC and do the stickers at my desk.

I have a Monogram Nascar Lumina no.46 Superflo Cole Trickle kit but with no instructions. I know there are sites that supply just instructions to download, I just need the decal placing pictures. Please has any idea where I can get these jpeg downloads

Now I have the Lumina kit body but used most of the kit to build a Nascar Pick-up. So I'm building a basic flat floor with an axle each end but I now need the take of the back axle and widen it! OOPS!

Now, weren't these a rear engine V8 and aircooled?

Thanks guys, very much.

Cheers Bruce.

Thanks guys, for all of your input!

Cheers Donato.

Thanks guys. Yes I have built kits of rally cars with dirt on the body but particularly on and around the wheels and tyres. Having been a Rally marshal about 40 years ago there were some very fast Group 2 cars that flew on a regular basis. The World Rally Championships now have still cars that fly!
