Well that's just ugly!

Cheers Rusty.

Cheers Larry, with so little of the original kit available it turned out OK.

Thanks Donato. That's finished that. Pics in the completed section.

Yes Bob, a different kit! Layers of stiff card in two colours.

ROKR made the kit, part of the Rolife group that make model greenhouses, cafe's, bookshops etc, also wooden clocks etc. All of them Chinese produced.

Cheers Jim.

A compressed card kit. Assembled over this week.

All done...

Wow, Brilliant!

Over the last 2-3 days a card, ROKR Bulldozer.

My wife bought me this today, very Meccano like!

Brilliant two tone Beetle!

Yes you're so right. Plus we have a kit car manufacturer here who makes them!

I hope to find one of these at a reasonable price.. I've looked on the web and prices are between $80 and a $140 plus shipping of up to $50! They must be difficult to get or short on stock!

Shelved! Too many parts missing. The body washed is still sticky as it was when delivered! The parts for the lowered suspension all gone, and as before the one piece window unit is broken down it's rear window. I don't now what adhesive they used but I can't part anything. The box shows, lowered suspension with wheels that fill the arches. In the box chrome multi spoke wheels but scale 15 inch rims, too small! I tried to get the body on the chassis plate and using various flat screwdrivers down each side the body was too stiff to fit over the chassis!

And here it is done! I tried to get decls in the UK, impossible, so a guy here does scene printed stickers!

Thanks Mark. Yes I have built numerous models over many, many years from bits and pieces to achieve a vehicle that I wouldn't have been able to buy, just by using my imagination. Many years ago I built a kit car, having the steel chassis with a glassfibre body already bolted on, and an MOT fail Mk2 Ford Escort van for the parts, it took me three months in a lock up garage, working in the evenings to finish it. At weekends we were delivering our two sons to BMX race meetings all over the country using a VW Beetle with a roof rack! Those were the days!

Thanks Gerald, hopefully we will see yours soon.

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!
