Yes, a Pagani, Bugatti Veyron, 1937 Mercedes 540K Special Roadster and a Bentley Blower to name a few.  I'm working on another 540K next weekend.

Cheers

Great photos, thank you for sharing them

Very nice! What problems have you found on the body? Did the engine go together well?

Ben

Ben,  I think the body is fine, its the front assembly piece that seems to be causing some fit issues with the front bumper and front cover. 

No issues on the actual engine , the two piece exhaust pipes dont want to easily fit like they should, there is a bit of a gap at the joint , but if you fit it snug, then the other end wont line up like it should( on the exhaust tip side)

Nice progress on this Jonathan. This kit is a real gem and it looks like you're doing it justice. I'm waiting for a pre-cut CF decal sheet to become available before I start work on mine. The Aoshima PE sheet is nice, but I'm sure other after-market suppliers will be providing efforts soon.

I will build a second a one using the pre cut CF whenever that may be,  so this is like a practice build for that one

Cheers Jonathan. I might start mine after I finish the Tamiya Gullwing. Using yours and another one on the forum as a guide.

I got that kit, with the photo-etch parts!  I will be keeping an eye on this thread.
I need to master the Scale Motorsport carbon-fiber decals, would love to drive myself more nuts.

I ended up taking a break from this because the issues of the body panels not fitting correctly, I am going to finish this one, it may not be perfect,  I am still going to have some gaps with the engine cover, part of that is the fact that the chassis plate was warped, but I did  lot of cutting and removing of parts with the engine assembly and what not get a somewhat better fit, so , I wont be opening up the engine cover , its getting glued on.

New paint job as well,  had some issues on the first and second paint jobs, last time had a lot of bleep in the clear coat, so changed up the color , this time I went with Lotus Isotope Green, I would of stayed with the green, but didnt think I had enough to do one more paint job and didnt really want to order another bottle for this build( I liked that green and will get another bottle to use on something else :D)

Looking good Jonathon. I haven't started mine yet. Seeing the fit issues is concerning. I'm wondering if there is a way to fix it? The kit looks so good in the box.

I really like that color with the contrasting black Jonathan !!!

Love the color! Looks great.

Keep going Jonathan, it's looking good despite the issues.  It's a shame to cover up the engine, could you leave the engine cover in the 'up' position?

[Davewilly]

Jonathan...Looks pretty nice so far...The color combo works pretty well! Engine and back half also looks really nice shame to have to cover it up.
