Just got back 21.05 from taking my boss to London harrods to have her hair done so took the seats and decals thought I would get a few done in the 5 hrs I sit in the car, didn't do a single one they don't fit so I recon I will just paint them one colour just don't know which colour, I think that's a quite big flaw in an otherwise great kit Ken's the name modeling's the game.

Thanks mate very helpful. Never tried a fujimi kit before I must say initial inspection looked good but, the colour callouts are vague to say the least, the plastic is incredibly fragile, I broke the kingpin off and I hardly touched it  Then when I went to fix it I discovered it is totally wrong  It is actually moulded coming out of the break disc. I think that is a pretty fundamental mistake and very early in the build, I reserve judgement but not looking good at the moment. Ken's the name modeling's the game.

Hi all here is the next bit   Buffed up the body a bit before adding the decals, needs a bit more doing to it but quite pleased so far.   Just to say I've not stopped on the bus (those seat decals are a real pain in the bum) I've not posted progress pics as it would be boring but nearly there on them) Ken's the name modeling's the game.

Looking good Ken. I had issues with a build with cast in pins, and snapped them. I drilled them out and used brass rod to replace them.

Hi all got some more done on the lotus and the bus. I've got to say I'm in awe of the engineering of the bus(when I left school I worked at loading the hoppers on injection moulding machines so I know the work that goes into the moulds of fairly simple things (I mean the items have to be able to be removed from the moulds) there is some amazing engineering on those seat frames. The seat decals though if I never see another one I will be happy. The lotus kit I'm warming to everything seems to fit well (do not like the decals, but could say that of a lot of premium kits) (they seem very stiff I'm hoping the gold body fine lines conform better)     Ken's the name modeling's the game.

That lotus kit is a beauty it is such a fantastic shape. Amazed as well at just how much detail you have in that bus model. Its all coming on really well which is justice to your building skills. Look forward to your next update. Happy Modelling
