I'll be watching with great interest. I want this kit, but I've never seen the final build.

I've been acquiring kits way faster than I have been building them so I have quite a backlog just now so I'm not sure when I will get to building this. The kit looks really good. The parts have been finished well; it looks like they have trimmed and filled any imperfections. I've added photos to the box content if you want to take a closer look: Peugeot 208 T16 R5 - Rally version (RACING43 BIG K 03, 1:24)

Those harnesses in the manufacturers picture look very interesting, but I'm not seeing them in your Pic, did they give you the red shower curtain instead? I hate that crap.

The seat belts are different than the manufacturer picture but it is not just a rubber sheet, it is pre-cut with the seat belt shape so hopefully it will be reasonably easy to extract and attach the photo etched buckles onto.

Same story 🙂 20 sets in the stash and I have no idea when I'll build them 🙂

That is my one annoyance of this hobby, it turns you into a crazy hoarder. If you see a kit you like you have no idea when they are gong to stop being produced so you have to buy it. And because we are all doing that they sell out faster. I'm still gutted I missed this kit: Mini John Cooper Works WRC BP #37, 52 (MF-Zone TK2430, 1:24) By the time I knew about it it was sold out everywhere!

J4, the secret of hoarding, is to stop looking. Unfortunately, that's another addiction! Admit it, you have a passion for vehicles?
I'm Bozzer and I have more trucks than I'll ever build. I'm an addict 🙁

Since I got scarred when I walked away from an Arkanoid cart for NES back in '87, I see something, I buy something. Took me a good 5 years to get a used cart sans extra controller and no box.....how did we live before ebay? Like savages, that's how!

Sander de Volder
I agree with Bozzer, best way to stop hoarding is to stop looking, avoiding temptation and all. I'm an addict as well, and as most of us I presume, I intend to build every kit in my stash. I just don't know if I have enough lifetime left to pull that off at the rate it's going now😅

Ah yes, eBay is a curse and a blessing.

J4Juliet, Bozzer, Sander +100% 🙂)))))

Looking at my stash, the oldest kits have only been in there for about a year. After a quick calculation, I should be able to build all my stash by the end of 2027 so there is hope for me yet!

A lot of my favourite builds have been ebay finds so I'm not going to completely stop looking. I have a couple of alerts for specific kits I really want to build but the rest of my wishlist I can live without.

I can quit any time! ...

Who am I kidding? I'm an addict too 😄

.....half the fun is acquiring
