Impressive dash!

You tend to do big projects with many parts, right? That means a fine detailed model 👍 Impressive!
Are the electronic components and cabling part of this kit series?

Hi Bughunter, all part of the de-Agostini subscription based kit - I'm not adding anything extra unless I absolutely have to, this thing is SO BIG, and so HEAVY!!! I think my glass shelves may struggle holding this!!
Big Projects?? I seem to turn them into BIG projects....

Roger Trewenack
Will add some BIG body shots soon!!

Like the Shelby stripes.

Interesting to see how one of these "subscription-based" kits go together.
Not the standard construction process by any means.
Disappointed at the quality of the pre-assembled parts, especially those that were chromes (there was little or no pre-chrome clean-up, and the after chrome patching was quite inferior) Not what you should expect form a high-cost model!! So some reworking required there.
Final product looks pretty good & final assembly was better than I expected.
By the way, the completed car weighs in at just over 8kg - so you will need to consider that when displaying it in your cabinet!!

Congrats, for the result and the special experience 👍 There were some interesting models here, but in the end I was always reluctant to order them for different reasons (quality, price,...). It may be cheaper to buy a complete set retrospectively from people who have given up.
I hope you can add the seats without big hassle.
About the electronics: Is the engine sound constant, like a running engine idling? Are all the lights are always on?

Roger Trewenack
Hi bughunter, yes, I would never consider a subscription model - I acquired this as an almost complete collection, then sourced the missing pieces, still expensive tho'.
the engine sound is just one sound, note, tone. ALL the lights are on, then the tail lights brighten when brake pressed - very gimmicky! I'm hoping the the BTTF De Lorean sound effects are better..... (for which I now have all the parts - same acquisition.) - but time for something simpler next.....
