Hold on to your hats ladies and gents, we're diving right into this one. I just got this kit earlier this week from Stradasports and couldn't wait to get started. This is the first ST27 kit I have built.
One strange thing I noticed was that no where on the box or instructions does it say 'Peugeot 908', but only says '908'. There are a few 'Peugeot' markings on the decal sheet, but that's it. Guess they didnt wait for any licensing procedures to hold things up?
The panel lines look good. The castings are really clean, with minimal flash. The chassis pan was slightly warped on my kit, but a little steam fixed that. There is more white metal parts than I would like, but what are you going to do?
The fenders are cast separate to aid in fitment of a few parts that span the gap between the fenders and the body. There are locating pins on the parts and holes on the body. In some reference pics I have, there is a distinct separation line between these parts and the body, but not at the fender, so I glued the parts to the fenders instead of the body. I also need to figure out how to fill the gap around the bottom edge of the fenders at the chassis pan, as there should not be a separation line there.
