Nice look to the engine... doo-doo or not, it looks like it's coming together pretty good.

It looks like you're making some good progress in spite of the kit's shortcomings.

I also have one of these in my stash and It's nice to see a progress build on it to help better manage my expectations. Thanks for taking the time to post it.

That is why I post my WIPs here, David!  To show what I do whether a problem is created by me or it is a kit issue and how I solve it.

Thank you guys!

I inserted the drive shafts through the transaxle and I found the driveshaft a little too short.  I replaced the driveshaft with a piece of styrene rod that was longer and I trimmed the rod length to fit the wheels perfectly.

That I would have had your skill when I had that kit. Nice work and problem solving..  oh, card #11 with a picture of Ilya was the hardest one to get in the trading card series to complete the set lol.

Thanks Mike!  I have a renewed interest in The Man From U.N.C.L.E. lately and I now possess the first season the UNCLE on DVD, The Return Of The Man From U.N.C.L.E.: The Fifteen Years Later Affair and the latest movie on DVD directed by Guy Ritchie.

Heya Michael.   Dusting off this thread to touch base with you to see if you ever got around to finishihng the U.N.C.L.E. car.

Hi Don!  Thanks for your interest in my U.N.C.L.E. car.  I have lost interest in my U.N.C.L.E. car.  The project was taking me so long to finish, that my interest in the model just up and left me.  This is to say that my interest wouldn't return some day.  It has left me.
