KWT Posted February 6, 2023 Posted February 6, 2023 Nice look to the engine... doo-doo or not, it looks like it's coming together pretty good.
David G. Posted February 8, 2023 Posted February 8, 2023 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. David G.
NOBLNG Posted February 8, 2023 Posted February 8, 2023 Looks like you are winning the battle Michael. Nice work so far.?

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.
David G. Posted February 10, 2023 Posted February 10, 2023 Nice catch on the axles! Yet another good point to be aware of. David G.
mrmike Posted February 12, 2023 Author Posted February 12, 2023 Thanks David! I did a mockup of the UNCLE Car this morning and all seems to be coming along rather well. 1
KWT Posted February 13, 2023 Posted February 13, 2023 That's looking pretty snazzy Mike. Coming along great
David G. Posted February 13, 2023 Posted February 13, 2023 Nice work so far. The color looks spot-on. David G.
Farmboy Posted February 14, 2023 Posted February 14, 2023 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.
mrmike Posted February 15, 2023 Author Posted February 15, 2023 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. 1
drifterdon Posted January 2 Posted January 2 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.
mrmike Posted January 5 Author Posted January 5 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.
