The Pagani Huayra has gone to a new home swap it for the Holden Sandman HJ Panel Van plastic kit.
I have better luck putting the Van together then the Pagani Huayra as I know that I would struggle with it and it would be another unfinish kit.
Bruce took it and even he said he will have trouble with it, One of his mates told him that it will test him out.
The main problem with it is the body getting it all to line up together.

Don't give up on Aoshima kits Allan, they have some of the best stuff and are pretty much equal to Tamiya quality wise, in my opinion anyway.
I have a heap of their kits, easy 50 odd.
Unfortunately there are some kits/cars that are just plain fiddly both in 1:1 and 1/24. The Tamiya GT40 springs to mind, haven't built it yet, just heard it was.

Bear, I had the Tamiya Ford GT 40 just after they came out and had it for three weeks and swap it with Bruce.
Even Bruce is worryed about the Aoshima kit.
Been Working on a Tamiya Porsche 911 Turbo '88 and next will be a Fujimi Porsche 911 Carrera 3.8 RSR.
Which reminds me better post some photo's up, almost forgot too.

Starting to wish I bought the AMT 2004 GTO and that HSV conversion kit when they were available. I can’t find either of them anywhere atm.

I built one and painted it black and had a second one here and just before Covid hit sold it.
A lot had trouble getting the bonnet to sit down, I fixed it by take about 1mm off the bottom of the washer bottle.
Some came out already painted and some were in black plastic the two I had were white plastic.
There was a resin front and bonnet and right hand dash but it took a lot of work to get them to fit and then they did not fit a hundred percent.
Oh some did not have the small diecast model in the box.

Hi all needs some help with some information, I was given a set of WARHAMMER 40,000 chaos space marines Raptors, you can build five Raptors or five Warp Talons, and I got six pots of Citadel Colours, Look's like the Colours for the Raptors ? and there is a sheet of decals but don't know which ones to use or were they go.
What glue can one use to put them together.
Any help will be a great help to me.

I use normal Tamiya glue just like I have been for the car kits.

Citadel are a water based acrylic and will give a great finish when thinned down and 2 coats have been applied. They are great to airbrush as well.

I haven’t looked at my decals yet but they would be the 6 (common) different Legions they can be painted. Black Legion, Emperor’s Children, Word Bearers, World Eaters, Iron Fist and Alpha Legion.
