Brendan Posted November 10, 2007 Posted November 10, 2007 Just finished the Profil24 Kit. The kit needed a lot of work. A major problem I ran into was that the casters made the center line of the car off by over 1mm to one side. I also had problems with the decals not wanting to stick to the model, but that was solved by several coats of clear. There were other problems but they're too numerous to mention. But I had fun building it. The blue is TS-54 and the silver is a mix of TS-75 (60%) and TS-11 (40%). The silver has a slight gold tinge which it is supposed to have according to all the reference photos/video that I have seen. Not recommending kits is unusual for me, but I'd make an exception for this one. Feel free to make comments.
KorkyOtt Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 This is an excellent example of a quality model builder. I have never built a Profil24 Kit. They are expensive and I always here bad reports about the quality of their products. Modelers like you who don't give up and fix all the problems just make them (Profile24) look good. We as modelers shouldn't have to put up with the headaches some model manufactures impose on us. Keep up the excellent work Brendan.
Raul_Perez Posted December 11, 2007 Posted December 11, 2007 Very nice looking model!!! The color is GREAT!! Is there an engine or is this a curbside?
Brendan Posted December 11, 2007 Author Posted December 11, 2007 Very nice looking model!!! The color is GREAT!! Is there an engine or is this a curbside? The kit is a curbside kit. The transmission is the only thing visible off the rear end.
ZIL 111V Posted December 13, 2007 Posted December 13, 2007 Beautiful piece. From what I read the Profil24 kits are not easy to go thru: no Studio27 or Factory Hiro quality stuff, how would you rate the assembly & fitting of the kit, pretty average... demanding a lot of work to get the meuseum piece you made?
