[Not a full kit?]

It is Aintree where in 1955 the British Grand Prix was contested. Moss won, of course! And it has the limited edition number engraved in it. Bonus!

[Not a full kit?]

My question  has self answered. Wee little number plaques and certificates are in the mail!

 

[Not a full kit?]

I found my W196R in two boxes on  the doorstep this morning. No tracking info, but it was [wisely, I think] shipped from the Australian hub in Melbourne. One small issue [maybe I misled my self.] The promo photo on the Agora site has a plaque on the plinth saying that that one is #1 of 500. For the life of me I cannot find  such a plaque either on, or with the  plinth, nor in any of the boxes I have opened so far.

Any comments?

[Which glue?]

Hello,

If screws have to be turned in metal, I use Caramba drilling and cutting oil.  For me this works perfectly.

The screw in a magnetic Phillips slot and then dipped briefly in a small screw-top jar with the oil, ready for assembly.

Here is a picture of my Unimog construction

As glue I use normal superglue in different viscosities

 

 

Thanks, I will search for suitable stuff here in Australia as those German brands may be difficult to find here.

Thanks, I had seen a jar of Vaseline in one of the vids.

In his excellent videos building the W 196 R , Wayne, from Waynes World uses both oil and glue. I guess the oil is a light machine oil [ie sowing machine] but I wonder which glue  would be best to apply in small quantities to hold all those plastic tubes on the many nipples.

Note my jealousy, Some seem to have their kits, but I have no idea when mine will find  its way down under.

 

[Shipping delays continue????]

Royal Mail [UK]  has been beset by problems, including worker strikes. However, advice in the past few days from my favourite specialist book supplier [Camden Books] is that Royal Mail has resumed taling parcels into its system.
