    I am not discounting how much the build costs. What I am discounting are complaints to the effect 'my tank is not working ... some wires are not connected ... maybe that's the problem' type complaints. Those are not constructive. As for modelers who haven't even started the build yet, well ... smh. @AgoraSam Thanks for stepping in. I can see where this thread is heading and I'm not carrying this baggage into the new year. No further comments from me other than progress reports. Cheers.

    That hasn't been my experience. I check my subs every month. Last month I got in. This month I can't. and then there's the FH update from mypartworks ... maybe I read more. 😛

    You can find some info here: https://mypartworks.com/blog/eaglemoss-update/ Personally, now when I log onto Fanhome I get a blank page where my dashboard should be. Something is up.

    I have to bite my tongue on some of the complaints of late. Presently I'm awaiting my final pack, hopefully with pack 13 included. I've suspended my build on this since pack 06. Once I receive all packs I will probably read, maybe print, all instructions and annotate where steps are superseded or where it makes sense to do in a logical order. Once all my screws are tightened and connections connected I'll test it. I am giving the benefit of the doubt that Agora will have this sorted out. Maybe I'm naïve but I'm on my own quest.

    The other thing I like, and that I really miss in present day cars, are the triangular window vents on the driver's and passenger side. I see that these will be operable in the new Stingray. Very cool indeed.

    That would be cool ... the center headlight moves in the direction steered ... that would be a mechanical feat in 1:8!

    I think the Christmas Eve announcement will be about the Stingray, Mercedes, LaFerrari(?) and maybe an additional surprise for 2023?

    Google translate works very well. Simply cut and paste conversation .

    So was browsing topics and this one caught my eye ... good thing for Google term search is all I can say. 😛

    I agree with LukasRS that's it's pretty much settled as a LaFerrari ... all the clues support that direction ... as long as it's a Ferrari I have no interest ... if you happen to be correct, my 2023 budget will need to be increased ... 2023 Z07 heck yah!

    So I've suspended my build on this since ... IDK when. I'm awaiting my final pack in the sub and hoping it will contain the mysterious 13th pack that fixes all evils. If it does I will press on. No complaints so far other than the obvious. 🤐

    A couple of additional thoughts. I reviewed the purchase options for the subs I had/have and all of them have a full-kit option. A cursory review of other models show many have a full-kit option or the option of buying 4 or 6 mos upfront. It looks like the older established models have the full-kit option while the newer, yet to be established, models do not... yet. Also I have to take issue with the title of this topic, maybe should be "Full Kit Options Please". I want to keep my subscriptions. 🙂

    IDK. I really don't mind the subscriptions. Finding Agora models on the internet and then later Fanhome was a complete revelation to me coming from a various scale plastic modeling background. I was delighted to discover the subscription based service as I can justify spreading out the payments over time for a number of concurrent subscriptions rather than plunking down $1800 a pop. The waiting time can be a bit ..challenging, but again, with four subs going there's always something to do.

    Too bad the Pre-Order button d/n work
  17. ThomasJW
    Uncanny wishful thinking.
  18. ThomasJW
    I'm even more impressed these are from scratch! Amazing tedious work dude.

    There's the new Stingray coming out. Nice addition to the Cobra and Shelby Mustang. Golden age of muscle.
  20. ThomasJW
    Very slick. You should patent it 🙂
  21. ThomasJW
    OK I never noticed that. My active Leopard and completed Bismarck subs were diff prices and my Cobra is over 24 mos. Being that this model is on the smaller side relative to other 1:8 models, Agora could offer it as a complete kit ala IXO at a more competitive price. As it is, I'm obsessing over what's under the cloaked models on the home page, I think the Red is the Stingray and the black one is a Ferrari ... possibly F40. In any case, cheers to budgeting 2023 builds 🍹

    Where did you get the Agora price from?
  23. ThomasJW
    Looks like some exciting new models for 2023 ... at least one Mercedes-Benz W196 and a special xmas day announcement ... can you say "Stingray"?
  24. ThomasJW
    Where did you source the spark plug wires from? They look awesome.
  25. ThomasJW
    Yep, but which one ... He nailed the first new model ... can he go 2 for 2?
