Looks very impressive Ian, but seems to have been a long time in getting there in receiving the parts?
Well done

Very nice Ian. Sadly I am still awaiting some parts. One being part 08 which is critical to continue the build, seeing as the series has now finished you would of thought that at the least the earlier parts would have been sent by now

Thanks.
Its been a nightmare getting the parts on a timely manner. The worst part now is that the panels are different colours so I've got to see what can be done about that now

Certainly doesn't show Eaglemoss in a good light does it?!!   
I like the look of this and I believe they did the Aston Martin as well which was equally cool, but I wouldn't buy any of their products from what I've read about the company?!

They'll need to do something. Unfortunately, I'm one of very few to have gotten hold of the parts to finish. Although the colour issue leaves me reluctant to complete it until they give me a solution

I did the Aston and yeah we had to send all the panels back for a respray it was that bad.Unbelievable that Eaglemoss have done it again.I was going to do this when it came out but it got delayed. Built and building
All things Airfix & Revell.

Well, I bit the bullit and put it all together despite the variants in colour on the panels. Best case Eaglemoss will sort it (Not holding my breath) worst case i'll take it apart in the summer and respray it all. So here's the final stages! Bonnet & Sills  Passenger door  Drivers Door  Boot  Finished!!!

That is a stunning looking car!! Having worked in the motor industry for many moons, I know the issues with paint, and silver is the worst. If every panel is not painted with the same batch mix, there is always shade variations, even if the next batch is mixed in the same proportions. I hope you get it sorted, but I am sure that with the skills you have, a full respray will be a perfect solution.

Cheers guys. Think i was the first to actually receive all the parts and put them together as there's only 1 other guy i know who has put it together. The bumper is a right pain to attach!
