I also broke the gear stick but managed to drill a small hole and glue it back in, making sure the numbers were the correct way round. Agree this can be attached at a latter time. I am also missing a spoke for the wheel and awaiting a replacement. Interesting that you always get spare screws but nothing else.

I did try pushing it down and thinking the screw might pull it down, being plastic I didn't want to over tighten in case the screw just pulls out the plastic. It looks like it is rubbing on the side.

After fitting the hand brake I noticed it's not sitting flush with the floor. Is this how it should be or is it supposed to be flush with the floor.

I was also wondering what is happening to pack 2. A good indication of when they are going to post the next pack is when they upload the next set of instructions. Also noticed that the Routemaster is no longer available to build.

I noticed that on the two photos of the door, the hinge is shown in two different positions. Being the hinge is it supposed to move as mine seems to be stuck in one position and won't move, even loosening the screw makes no different. Looks to be another great quality build, even the supplied screwdriver is good quality.

I thought the front roller blind was a nice idea, but I think the rear blind is not changeable so I will be leaving it set to what ever the rear is.

Just wondering how difficult it would be to produce an RML version. Could you get away with just adding the additional panels in the middle or would you have to create new dies for bigger pieces.

Looks good, now I know were the small portrait adverts go.

Got the email saying it's on the way and issue 5 is now available to download. Build the classic Routemaster videos are good to follow but no commentary. World Of Wayne is building the Agora version so you may have to wait until he gets the current pack, this does with commentary.

Must be very busy in the office playing catch up. Just checked and they haven't released the instructions for pack 5 yet.

Hi Towerguy. I wondered why I wasn't receiving the tracking emails until someone posted that you have to pot-in to receive emails, here is the link https://www.agoramodels.com/opt-in For missing parts just submit a request, they are helpful at sending out parts. Unfortunately the postal system can slow things down, depending were you are. Request link https://support.agoramodels.com/hc/en-gb/requests/new. Hope that helps.

I painted mine by hand, but didn't realise until I put it together that the engine stop control needed painting.

Looking good. Any tips on how you got the treads to sit flush with the boy as mine are sticking up. Was thinking of using a drop of satin varnish to stick them down.

Went for matt as I thought the gloss would be to high lighting. Did hand brake lever in gloss as a good contrast.

I also agree the black does look better. Just wondering did you paint the two pieces separately or after they were screwed together. (35A 35B) Was that a matt black or gloss black?
