Tell me about it Spencer! I keep getting parts I already have LOL Confused Get all excited when bits arrive only to end up Cursing! At least I have my MP4/4 to be going on with! BTW your Senna tribute looks amazing - I can't wait to see it finished.

Hi Dave,

It did have parts issues near the beginning, which they seemed to have sorted out, so hopefully you will get everything as and when you should. I did the James Bond Aston Martin and it was a disaster, whether that was Eaglemoss or not I don't know, but they did repaint any ones body parts that were mismatched free of charge. I found their customer service very helpful when I've had to contact them.

But the Nissan is far better quality than the DB5 was.

I hope you enjoy your build :-)

Dave

Now I have my missing part, I've finally managed to get four wheels on my build!!













Replacement steering column with text printed the correct way up!


Still have some gaps as waiting for the boot and actual LEDs for the lights but it's getting there!

Nice one Dave, it is a fantastic looking model.

Sadly I am still awaiting the battery box, mother board, front and back windscreen before I can finish mine

Nice work Dave. It's good to see another one finished. I'm waiting on them to sort the colour ossue still. They're trying a second lot of replacement body panels to see if that sorts out the mismatch colours ao fingers crossed.

Thanks guys.

To be honest - it started really well and then seemed to go the same way as the DB5 :-( which was a bit frustrating.

I didn't notice any colour difference in the panels but to be honest - I just wanted to get it finished ASAP as I am moving to Australia in May and wanted it built and ready to pack!!

I just hope the final part of the engine turns up before I have finally packed to go!! I've left that to build once I have moved.

Cheers

Dave
