Had parts from the DeAgostini kit to kit bash. Cross between the two kits. This is 90 percent agora supersnake.

Hello Eagle 36. Sometimes. I paint outside . At my house. In the summer. 6 am the side of the house is perfect for painting. In the winter I have a spray booth. Full size.

Time to paint

More completed.

Hello eagle 36, this one was painted outside. It was summer so they are easier to paint. In the winter I use the spray booth at work. This is what I do for a living so it’s not that hard for me. I have a iwatta lph 400, I use for the clearcoat and a Sata Jet for the base coat. The spray guns cost a lot. $700 for the iwatta and $950 for the Sata Jet. I have been in the business since 1969 so paint companies give me paint and clear for free to test. I’m very lucky my living and hobby are one.

Radiator installed.

A little more detail to the radiator hoses. Sanded the seam lines out, painted them semigloss black. Bare metal foil. They look soooo much better.

Yes! I’m interested. PM me.

It took best auto and first place at the Fremont IPMS event.

Here is number 27. I have glued the pieces together and sanded and painted the part. I have removed the seam lines. I am doing this to the whole build. , makes the car look better . In my humble opinion. Here is a picture of the primer I use. It is expensive but works very well.

Hello Pete. I’m building mine and my frame does not have these posts. You will have to remove them. Cut them out with a hack saw blade then use a dremel tool to sand the frame. Then you will have to paint it black. Semi gloss black. Here is a pic of mine. As I look at the frame up close, looks like agora has cut them out. Yours slipped thru somehow. Maybe you can contact agora and get a new frame section for your car. Hope this helps.

The Mercedes is on all four wheels. Stripped the silver off the rear wheels sanded and polished. The wheels look like polished aluminum. The rear suspension is finished. Brake lines installed. Set the body on the frame. Nice job agora.

Thank you very much Christopher

Just stripped and sanded and polished the wheels. A lot of work but they really look like polished aluminum or chrome. Will start on the chassis soon.

Hello. I am currently working on the Mercedes and so far it’s a fantastic kit. With that being said , a person could complain on all kits no matter how expensive or not. The Lamborghini is a hand full as the cobra was not. Myself, being a modeler I like to change things a bit. My car will be black and the wheels I have stripped and polished. I look at these models as a great pallet and it’s a great starting point. If you want perfection look at amalgam. But the cost is really expensive. If you clean things up a bit on a agora kit, like sand seam lines and repaint, change color etc you will come out with a model that comes out pretty close to a amalgam kit but at a quarter of the cost. But some effort has to be applied. This is why if you look at an amalgam kit and agora kits, Agora kits are a fantastic bargain. And you get to put them together, your way if you wish. This is my opinion of course, but I do have a set of credentials. Certified bmw tech certified Shelby and f150 aluminum tech, corvette tech. On real cars. A special award winner at a IPMS national event. Second and third place also, So I have a little experience.
