Re: Which of you kits are you afraid of building...

I'm still not very good at building them and they never come out as i expect but i'm getting better and better. Right now the kits that scare me the most are the two GT40 kits i have and my fujimi Shelby Cobra. Other than that i'm kinda afraid of my supra kits and my toyota GT-One.

I am not scared of doing things I never did before, but I know for sure that soldering the 2 halves of my 1:24 Bugatti Type 43 (Auto Replica's 1980's kit) together will cause some excessive sweating.

Iron too cold or too short at object? No adhesion
Iron too hot or too long at object? The body panels will melt (pewter)

I do not want to mess with epoxy. I am an epoxy technician, and I know it will seperate some day from the pewter.

the whole kit will be challenging: For the seats and straps, there is a sheet of leather which needs to be cut and sewn together, but that involves more patience than skill...

Re: Which of you kits are you afraid of building...

I don't want to mess with my dad's model of Bruce Larson's Sentry Oldmobile funny car. He used to travel with him, and shoot nitrous into the blower butterflies when he went to start it, he has had his eyebrows scorched a few times! LOL.

It's his model, but since it's rare, he don't wanna build it.

If anyone lives in or around pennsylvania or knows where south mountain, he's gonna make a run there with his camaro sometime this summer or fall. Bruce is a cool guy, we see him all over the place, and he always goes out of his way to talk to my dad and my mom and I.
