Yes I was onece about to buy the 'AXES' version of it.
The 1/12 fujimi Nissan Skyline GT-R that NigelR32 and ihave got are the AXES Absorbing X Excite Series <---- what ever the F!@% that means

Just a question nigelR32 have u tried screwing the wheels in yet, with the suspension screwed in and everything?

If so then maybe the kit I got was a dodgy one.

When i first went to screw the wheels in for a test fit, it screwed in nicely, and the wheels held in. But as soon as i went to screw in the wheels for the second time, the front left screw hole that is the home for the screw that makes the wheels hold in had shredded, making the screw useless, so now I'm just thinkin about how i can resolve the problem.

I put the entire kit in a massive tray of soapy water (parts still on the trees) before i started painting, and the painting of the motor, and dashboard parts went sweet, but once I painted the seats and tried to stick the seat trim on, it bubbled and creased, so i decide to cut the trim in to 2 bits, and after spending 30mins of pissing around with the sticker, the sticker had lost its stickyness, so in the end i have just decided to paint the trim.

Also their is a component of the rear suspension on my model that was made too long for the actual part. I'm not too sure about the kits in general, but that was the case for mine.
