Calling this one done,  sadly, this was the best I could do, it looks like a pile of you know what, but I feel good that I at least finished it.  When getting the doors attached, the center section that holds the doors in place, while holding in it place waiting for the glue to dry, it came lose and slide across the left door and down the side, of course, leaving a trail of glue behind on the windows.   I did the best I could with getting the panels to line up, but again, uphill battle with the wrapped chassis plate and not being able to get back in its 100% correct shape.  Plus all the other issues.    Painted with Lotus Isotope Green from Scale Finishes.

Looks good regardless of the problems. I'm pretty leery about jumping into this one...it looks overly complicated and pretty tough to get all the opening panels to fit. Wild color!

Not sure why you call this a pile. It's outrageous in color and well built.

 

Hope mine comes out as nice when it crosses the bench.

Turned out nice! Great colour choice. I started the 2016 NSX instead of the Pagani due to the trouble I saw you have. I'll probably do an FXX-K also before tackling the Pagani. Cheers.

Sorry to hear this kit was that much trouble, if your chassis plate wasn't warped, do you think it would have fit together better, other than the obvious front clip issue? strange how it appears that the passenger side is "off", but the driver side looks good. I feel your frustration, I just started working on mine. I know that it probably doesn't make you feel any better, but I think it looks pretty nice still

Well it looks great from the pics! It's such an expensive kit too, shame it didn't go together too well, you can't see the streak of glue on the window, so you've done well to clean it up... Do feel for you, it happens to me all too often...

Hey, Jonathan, how did you manage to strip the plating off your wheels?.......I think this plating is bullet proof!, mine has been soaking in Bleech White now for two days, and it doesn't want to budge!   I even took a piece out and scrubbed it.......no luck:angry:.  Bleech Whyte has never taken this long, or failed me.
