Re: 1/12 Tamiya Porsche 934 - Jagermeister - lots of pics

Kit is amazing! I had a few minor issues that I'm sure could have been avoided if I had been paying better attention. The hood was a bit warped, and I didn't correct that - then the various hoses are 'stuffed' under the fuel tank, which makes that a bit too high - between the two, the hood doesn't fit on the car well. Also, the door hinges aren't quite set up right (and I'm sure it's builder error), so they don't open cleanly - I've managed to chip the leading edge of the passenger side by having it rub against the body. I had some difficulty with the door window frames as well - they're two pieces, and the part along the trailing edge was a bit of a pain.

And being a full bodied car, it was a bit of a challenge getting it in the booth for paint - even if it has the front fenders as a separate piece! I may have to rethink how I approach the Lambo, as it's a full piece front to back . . . .
