My First IXO Build / Volvo 122S

[Franknstang]

This car was very popular with some good friends if mine with college degrees.. The car was very dependable and wouldn't die as I remember was their love for it as well as safe. When I saw the model I had to build it . Nostalgia is a strong motivator as I get older.

The model 's components are very well detailed and finished. I have began tapping the holes in the die cast metal for the tapping screws. I find it actually faster in the long run and easier on the screwdrivers. The typical sizes used in Pocher models work well and can be purchased as a set from Paul Koos or on EBAY. I will post a few pics soon.

Build is complete. I am very pleased with the quality of this kit. I had no real issues with build and love the fit and finish. The batteries are easy to get to .
