                        Here are some progress pics of my 1/16 lambo from fujimi.  I havent painted the body yet and there is much left that needs to be done.  One huge problem with the kit is that the gull-wing doors were warped and didnt fit properly.  My remedy was to tape the doors to the body and heated it up with a blow-drier.  It worked for the most part and when I put the windows in i think they will straighten out completely.  You will have to excuse my photography because I am very bad at taking pictures.  Unfortunately I won't be able to finish it up until this summer because I am a college which sucks.  Oh well, enjoy....

                        That is looking really good! Does that come as an RC, or are you making it that way? I couldn't figure out what the batteries were for until I saw the second pics Cool [8D]

                        its not RC but theres a switch on the bottom that turns on the motor that powers the back wheels.  theres a seperate switch that turns on the headlights and taillights.  im still working out the wiring for that.

Id like to find out how youre going to make the headlights work ! Great stuff!Approve [^]
