kpnuts got a reaction from Landlubber Mike in Ducati 1299 Panigale S by kpnuts - FINISHED - 1/4 scale - die-cast
So the first thing you build is the exhaust (which is also the first thing you have to add detail to) I started by plugging the holes from the screws with bits of off cut sprue then added the expansion spring brackets (made from paper clips)
I also made the exhaust valve from brass sheet and the lambda sensor patch from a Phillip's screw cover

kpnuts got a reaction from Script in Ducati 1299 Panigale S by kpnuts - FINISHED - 1/4 scale - die-cast
Hi it is a pretty good kit I say that as there is a lot poor detail in it which I added and also a lot of penny pinching (like not supplying a few assorted wires in the appropriate scales) I doubt it would have added more than a tenner to the cost of the kit (and I would have happily paid that extra (that was the worst part finding scale appropriate pieces of wire for it) the radiator is a joke on a kit this price and size, I got some PE stuff to correct that (yes more expence) I just dont understand why they didn't add the details I did for another 100 quid they could have added them and i think if people are prepared to pay 650 why wouldn't they pay a bit more for a perfect kit. Oh and Rick I taped the holes for the bolts and Allen screws so they were easy to install.

kpnuts got a reaction from popeye the sailor in Alfa Romeo Spider Gran Touring by gjdale - FINISHED - Pocher - Scale 1:8
I just found this post, what a lucky man you are to have 2 pocher kits the RR Sedanca would be my holy grail of kits. When my missus agreed to let me have the pocher ducati for my 60th birthday I was gobsmacked, unfortunately she would never allow such an expense on a kit again your missus must be an angel.
Great progress this far. Am I envious of course not, grrrrrr

Hi all my missus bought this for my 60th it's a huge kit and very heavy the kit was 650 quid and is all screwed together with Philip's screws so I spent another 150 quid on the correct nuts bolts Allen screws and torx bolts for it and the correct decals, not using the ones in the kit as they're wrong.
Just a warning to Ducati purists it will not be done in Ducati colours (although the kit is already beautifully painted) we bought our new car just before I got this and I love the colour so much that's what I decided to paint it.
It has to be said (and I've had several premium kits) this is the best packaged kit (by far) that I've ever had.
As a comparison this is the box against a gas fire it is the biggest box any kit I've had has turned up in.
