    Some progress today after receiving Pack 4. Completed front suspension, brakes and steering. Front dampers (shocks) painted red (just because they should not be orange 😉) with silver lower spring support. "Cadmium plated" calipers and "weathered" Discs... The rest is pretty much "out of the box". Notice that I didn't connect the valve cover breather pipe to the starter motor (Identified as "oil pump" in the instructions)... Instead, I extended the pipe straight down as it should be.

    Yesterday, I almost had a catastrophe while assembling the first row of spokes on my second wheel. When I grabbed one of the spokes with the tweezers, it flew off in an unknown direction! After a few minutes of fruitless searching, I had to resign myself to the fact that I'd never find it again... I had to find a way of making a replacement. Fortunately, my wife sews and I found pins that were the same diameter to within a thousandth or two. Using one of the spokes as a template, I was able to make a replacement and once it was installed, I couldn't tell which spoke was the "fake"... Maybe Agora should include some spare spokes like they do with screws?

    Salut Oliv79, Qu'avez vous utilisé pour le fil du thermocouple? Il plus réaliste que le mien... Merci!

    Déjà à l.étape 017, il ne s'agit pas de la pompe à huile mais bien du démarreur... Alors il y à un soucis à y brancher l'évent de couvercle de valves de gauche. Pour l'évent de couvercle de valves de droite, il ne devrait pas être branché au au bloc moteur car à l'endroit où il est branché, il devrait plutôt y avoir le filtre à huile (qui est absent de la maquette)... Agora l'a échappé sur ces détails, pas que ça va se voir, mais quand-même gros comme erreur. En plus, plusieurs durites sont identifiées comme "distribution d'huile" alors qu'il s'agit en fait de distribution du liquide de refroidissement. Je planifie déjà plusieurs modifications.

    Question... Why is the L/H valve cover breather connected to the starter?? When it should just vent overboard... Just asking...

    Yes saw it too (the Cobra exhaust)... Very impressive!🤩

    Hi all, I decided to start my own thread to show "my take on the DB5 build". I don't consider myself as a pro but I enjoyed the hobby for many decades now. I aim at making my models look as realistic as possible without being over zealous... In this thread, I will share my progress on the build. You are welcomed to comment, suggest or even criticize (in a kind way 😉). Hope you enjoy it as much as I do! Best regards.

    Thanks for the compliment! I couldn't have described it better myself! "Well maintained but well driven"... love it!! It's exactly the look aiming for for this legend. After all, she is 60 years old!

    My take on Pack 2 so far... Some weathering and dri lled the vent holes on the two cylinder head vents.

    My bad... I purchased my kit from the "other site", not directly from Agora (paid for 5 Packs already)... never the less, I haven't received Pack 2 yet, it's in transit but obviously won't make before the end of the month which means no Pack in December. No sure what causes the delays but I hope it gets settled somehow.

    Agora charged me Pack 3 yesterday and still haven't shipped Pack 2... 😡

    Effectivement, un peu de communication ne ferait pas de mal... Que se passe-t-il? pourquoi le délais? Pourquoi le silence radio de la part d'Agora? Situation exceptionnelle ou c'est la norme avec laquelle il faudra apprendre à vivre?

    Hi! Since you're (or not) working on the submersible Lotus Esprit from The Spy Who Loved Me, why not reuse some of the design time spent on it to offer the Esprit Turbo from For Your Eyes Only with the ski rack? I'm sure it would be a hit among 007 fans!

    Hi all! Can't wait to get Pack 2... Already planning to make several mods after going through the assembly instructions. Some questions come to mind: - Why are the exhaust manifolds white? - Oil dip stick? - Why is the alternator holding in mid air...? - Does anybody know if the starter will be included in the coming packs? My guess is yes because of the hole in bell housing flange... 🤔 Best regards!

    Les instructions pour le Pack 2 sont en ligne...

    Hi Scotter, I had a piece on 0.032" thick aluminum sheet laying around... I first filed corner of the door panel (holding the door trim and inner panel together) to accommodate the thickness of the aluminium piece. Then, I cut the tiny piece and simply trimmed and filed it to shape. I glued it in place using gel super glue once the door was completely assembled. 😉

    Bonjour à tous! Reçu aussi mon Pack 1 il y a quelques jours et déjà tout monté. C'est mon premier modèle Agora et dans l'ensemble je suis assez satisfait de la qualité. Étant particulièrement soucieux de l'authenticité, j'ai déjà apporté quelques modifications lors du montage de la portière...

    Hi, For the mounting of the tire, after struggling with just hot water, I put in a mine a jar of water and microwaved it to boil. It went in very very easily...
