  1. Has anybody tried fitting the windscreen on the 917?

    I cannot get it to fit properly - see picture.

    I have spent a long time and a lot of messing about but it will not fit any better than the picture shows.

  2. I did take a look at the GT and you are quite right, some of the finer detail is lacking.

    I would like to think there is something out there between the DeAgostini and the Amalgam version which is just ridiculously priced, fine detail is one thing but £13,995 for a model….. fairly sure there aren’t many of us willing to pay that…..and you don’t even get the honour of building it

  3. Does anybody know if there is a good part works GT40 out there to build, as a preference I would narrow it right down to the ‘66 GT driven by Miles and Co. but I’m not sure if I’m not looking properly or if there isn’t a good one out there to do.

    Was just wondering that was all….

  4. Very nice.

    I have also just finished my GT500.

    However, I am also at Pack 7 of the Porsche 917KH, which in my opinion, is a much better kit, more diecast parts making it stronger in places and a much more technical build, definitely enjoying the Porsche more but that’s taking nothing away from the GT build, just personal preference

  5. I live in the UK and I believe the item ships from the UK, however, I get charged on 28th of the month but it normally takes 10 to 14 days for the item to be shipped, it normally takes 2 days or so once shipped but in my opinion it is too long after payment before the pack is posted.

    Last payment was 28th December and I received an email today from Royal Mail stating they had the item and would be with me in 24/48 hours. Quite a quick turnaround this month, it really should be within 48 hours of payment being taken

    Nothing I say will make any difference anyway. I am aggravated about waiting over two weeks for a pack I ordered months ago(per subscription) and paid for automatically. It took 5 days to receive a full kit from France from day I ordered it.

     

    I agree with Franknstang, it takes minimum 14 days from payment to even having the pack posted, I also ordered some replacement parts for the GT500 23 days ago and they haven’t been posted yet.

    taking 14+ days from payment to posting is a bit much I think and then delivery time on top of that, it’s putting me off buying more, I was seriously thinking of the Miura, Cobra, E-type and possibly the Vette, I’m doing the 917KH on subscription but I bought the GT500 outright, I just can’t see me bothering with any more due to the huge delay between payment and posting.

    I live in the UK so it’s not like I’m waiting for international shipping as I believe my order comes from the UK

    This does disappoint me hugely
