sharknose156 Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Thank you Roy, gentlemen. i will contact eaglemoss. the store where i placed the order did not take a deposit and i am a client for a long time. Strange it looks like they sell it peacemeal and not in one box ?!! 2 hours ago, Mikeymo said: Next kits I'm buying will be the Tamiya 1/12 Ferrari Enzo and Porsche Carerra. Agreed Tamiya makes great quality, soon am starting one of the F1's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parryj Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 So i just picked up my red Huracan from the post office. Tons of parts, seems to be more than the Adventador? Anyway, how does one do an inventory? I couldn't find an itemized parts/spru description in the assembly manual? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just went back and started reading through the post, and saw Dinky had posted a utube showing the unboxing. Stay tuned, I'll report out on my inventory, and If I can see any seriously bent / damaged parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that you have to do an inventory to check if its complete is really crazy I hope your is fine and complete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeKa48 Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Parts L - 08, 09, 10 & 11 are completely missing?. I'm also missing these parts, but I think everyone does, because those parts are not used?. I could not find the parts in the manual (my build is as far as page 25).

parryj Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 I checked my kit - all spru's are there and the cast metal pieces look decent. Paint is not the best, buildup on some edges and one door is a little wavy, but I wouldn't be able to do better so i'll leave as is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Avantador I built, it had spare parts but not missing parts. With the Aventador I could have chosen left or right hand drive. No such option with the Huracan, and I didn't expect there to be parts intentionally left off the sprue. Anyway, the Hornby guy didn't confirm or deny this, he just asked which parts I required and my shipping address. Still no ETA given. I'll keep you guys posted with what actually turns up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cookiezoom Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 (edited) Well I was looking in to buying a Pocher kit possibly Ducati, but I've already built 1/12 Tamiya kit, so I'd probably like a Lamborghini, but the Huracan looks like that'll be off the list. So please tell me, those in the know, is the Aventador any good?? Edited March 4, 2017 by cookiezoom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamb691 Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 The aventador is great in my experience. 50% through my build. Just starting some led mods. I can recommend it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adamb691 Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 I have the roadster in blue. Posted my build here. Have some progress not yet on this post as the rear body is assembled and I modified it to make it removable. Will have to get around to uploading the pics soon! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookiezoom Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Does anyone know what the quality of the Lamborghini Aventador matte black is like. It's like you've all said. I can't justify £500 on something that isn't 100% mint condition. With minimal imperfections. I'd have to save for it but I'd like the matte one or the blue roadster. I daren't tell my hubby this as he'll say "......", well he wouldn't he'd probably just collapse or drop dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larchiefeng Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Unfortunately you live in the UK because there's a seller on eBay here in the US that is selling the black Aventador for $459 with free shipping. He's been selling them for a long time and they are steadily getting lower in price. I think that you guys have a VAT so the savings can get eaten up by that. The Aventador is a nice kit but, because it's a new super car a lot of the details get hidden underneath other parts. Roy's build a few years ago shows how to make the rear section removable which allows you to show off some of the details. Good luck with your pursuit! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vandellyn Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Very nice work, and beautiful photography. I've built the Blue Aventador, and they are strikingly similar in construction, both as a model and as an automobile, but the Huracan seems to be more detailed - gas tank hoses, suspension, radiator hoses, wrinkle finish valve covers, etc. Are they in the kit, or did you add them? Either way, well done. bp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
