I was just about to write and ask you when you might be doing this model. I really don't know how you keep up with all these builds. You're the best, Wayne! I am waiting for the full kit delivery to arrive and feel like a kid on Christmas morning with the anticipation and excitement I am experiencing. P.S. - I am 74! Still a kid at heart.🥰 Thanks again for all you do! P.S. That screw box is a great idea to provide safe and quick access to the many sized screws. When I purchased the 427 Cobra SC kit, I bought a similar clear box storage item at Lowe's, but mine is vertical with 30 clear slide drawers. I taped all the screw part # tags onto the front of each drawer and it works perfectly!
Absolutely, because the spokes are round as they should be. The easier way spokes are flat and look like poo poo💩. Have you ever seen flat spokes on an auto wheel? Of course not.
Thanks for posting this Wayne, I watched the complete video. I did the E Type wheels 'the hard way' as that was all that was available! I had to walk away a couple of times but finally finished them! Well worth it once completed.
@Robert Lees - I had to chuckle at your comment...."I had to walk away a couple of times". It reminded me of my first 1:8 scale Pocher 1935 Mercedes 500K Roadster, with only the hard way to build its wire wheels. That was in the early 1970s. I have never been so frustrated trying to build a model car component! I finally realized there was an error in their instructions so I drew my own diagram and finally completed a wheel. Wayne's 2 hours to build one is but a fraction of the time I spent, but like you said, the beautiful look and great satisfaction I had in completing that first wheel was well worth it. A good thing I felt that way since there were 5 more wheels to build, as it had 2 spares mounted on the trunk!
1:15 OMG that pillbox is AMAZING! I agree. I would LOVE if each model came packed with every screw you needed nicely sorted and packaged from stage 1. It'd really be a huge help.
All you have to do is buy one of those clear pill boxes, put each group of screws in each compartment and label with stickers or removable packaging tape. I purchased a standup 30 drawer pull out style at Home Depot which I think is easier to use.
A beautiful model of one of my favorite cars. Agora model has selected an elite buyer profile as the average model builder could ill-afford to purchase one of their models. Maybe if I hit the Lotto.
well that was a nice surprise to see all the screws at the start. I wonder if that's going to be a new standard practice or if it was a benefit of the premium limited edition build. Quite a nice change from all of the black parts you've been building lately Very Nice!
I bet the spokes you make yourself look 100% better than the ready made wheels. I was hoping you'd manage to get this one. I absolutely love old racing cars and vintage Formula 1 cars more so. That's why I bought a vintage boat to live on. The older the better for me. The engine on my boat is the newest part and that was installed in 1913.
Whilst the simple spokes are a nice addition, the proper ones are just miles more attractive... There just no competition. Sure they're fiddly and require patience, but it's worth it.
@Dominic Pizzey - Well said, sir! If you are a true modeler, then the true spoke wheels are the only way to go. My main goal in building a model car is to do what I can to make it look as real as possible. Having patience is a critical factor in building nice looking models! P.S. I am a New England Yankee and just love the British word 'fiddly' as it is so descriptive! 😃
😮 looks great 👍 like the ready made wheel spokes , as I would not have the patience to make them from the individual parts. And having tons of stuff up front is great too
You know these are nice models and I'm sure it's nice for them to send them to you too build and show off but they have these things so expensive who can afford them lol😊
I remember hearing similar comments about the early Pocher 1:8 scale car kits which were priced from around $120 to $275. If you want them bad enough, you will find a way to earn some extra coin to afford them! That's just what I did. Get creative, man!
A little trivia... the #12 car, a short wheel base, 196, was driven by Moss at Aintree. He insisted his steering wheel have only three spokes. Nuebauer and Nalinger gave the okay and his car raced with a three-spoke steering wheel.
Good point Peter! I sent an e-mail to Agora yesterday suggesting they do just that. I framed my poster for the 427 Cobra SC but the fold lines are so noticeable that it really ruins the image. Let's see if they really listen to their customers!
@@Loulovesspeed I can't even afford one of these kits. I have to live vicariously through Wayne, but you would think for the price of the kit, they could package a simple poster a lot better than they do.
@@2005portensie 👍 I have built several 1:8 scale model car kits previously, made by Pocher (Hornby is the holding co.) While the poster situation is a minor irritation and doesn't affect the building of the kit, the quality of Agora kits is quite good. The Pocher kits, however, have the worst instructions I have seen in the large model kits. They are poorly printed in black and white, lack detail as to how parts are connected, where wires and tubes should be positioned, and in general are just plain pathetic, especially for the high prices paid for these kits. Their newest release is a beautiful 1:8 Lotus 72 F1 kit. They had to issue 4 revisions to the instructions just as the kit was released to the public, due to numerous errors made in the initial instructions. I came very close to purchasing that kit until I read about the revised instructions being released. That did it for me and I cancelled it as I have struggled with enough poor quality Pocher instructions. I have seen many reviews where other customers complain about the same issue. That's inexcusable in that price range! The Agora instructions are color printed, provide close ups for properly attaching small, irregularly shaped parts, and many times will show the installation from a couple of different angles for more clarity.
Another great video Wayne and it’s looks like a great model but I have to ask the following question. Given the cost of the Agora version is almost £1300 and the cost of the same model from IXO is around £875 why would anybody pay £425 more?
That's a good point. I thought maybe that with IXO shipping to the U.S would narrow down the price difference somewhat, but shipping is included. And, with IXO it's not a limited edition as far as I can tell. I may order from IXO and use Agora's English instructions! 😁
A question about screws. I would imagine that say an EM screw would be the same screw across the board for a single manufacturer. Now, would an EM screw be the same between all the manufacturers so you could have an EM screw in a pill box and use it on any build where one was needed? (Like in "real world" hardware an M10 1.25 is what it is and all are the same.) I'm into issues 12&14 on the DeLorean with two problems so far. A duplicated part in issue 8 (two right handed parts instead of a right and a left, but a part I can leave off for a while). Also the bit that holds the magnet into the left rear hub was pushed free of the hub but I think I have that sorted. Thanks for making these videos to help us noobs!! The oil does make a difference BTW! I'm now a believer!
Looks good and hopefully they will do more at a later date and brilliantly well done for all screws together at once in box marked and love the options for the wheels but complaint now come on @Agora when are you going to do colour coordinated screws so same colour as the metal the go would look lot better than how it goes now
@MasterLemonLime - Actually, they do so for the frontal hood area on the Stirling Moss edition, where the painted number badge is white and two screws go through it are also painted white. As for any other screws, it's easy enough to paint them yourself. P.S. Try using punctuation, which I'm sure you were taught, but apparently have just gotten lazy!
@BOBBY BATES - That is why they give you that option, if you don't feature the more time consuming, but infinitely better and more realistic looking individual spoke build. The build instructions I have seen on line from Agora and IXO are very clearly pictured for the wheel builds. Just take your time and don't try to do too much at once and you should be fine.
I would definitely go with the easy mode on the wheel spokes. The original is much too cumbersome and difficult and really doesn't look that much better.
@lakrfan 49 - Just an FYI, but I have built several large scale (1:8) model cars with wire wheels like these that you build up - Pocher kits, and they are for sure intimidating at first sight. I have been a model car builder for better than 68 years and my primary goal has always been to make the finished car look as realistic as possible. I assure you that you will notice the difference in the two build methods in this kit once finished and mounted on the hubs. Real spokes of wire wheels are not bonded together as the easy build ones in this kit are. I have a discerning eye for things like this and would notice the difference right off. I realize that not everyone does though, so it comes down to the level of realism you notice and desire. I remember my first experience with a Pocher, 1:8 scale, 1935 Mercedes Benz 500K. It took a couple attempts at building the first wheel, but I managed to finish it and was very pleased with the appearance of it. That was a good thing as I had (5) more to build - it had 2 spares! The basic rules of sanity, as I refer to them, are: 1) Don't rush the work. 2) Limit the time you do work on it as frustration tends to set in when you get tired. Whatever your final choice is, the most important thing to achieve is your own level of satisfaction and pleasure in building it, as well as looking at the finished product. I hope you enjoy your build, whichever route you choose! 😉
Is it my imagination, or did these spokes go in a lot easier compared to the Jaquar? I love to build this, but right now my garage is filled with 3 cars (soon 4 with the upcoming Delorean) and a firetruck in the shop! 😅
@@WorldofWayneUK But I have to ask.... Was it easier because the design was easier to build or, was it because you now have experience doing the spokes? I know with motorcycle wheels I can now do them in less than half the time it took me to do the first few wheels I spoked. Personally I think the looks of doing it the "hard way" is worth the time taken
Hi Wayne... I think IXO does the screw 🪛 box also because theirs you have to buy all at once... Also... Was funny the other day... I was missing some screws in one of my steps for the IXO Porsche 917KH and the number 80 part work for the body was damaged... So they sent me the part and the screws I was missing... And a new body... But guess what...the body was from Agora Models...lolol Had their tag in the box and everything... I called IXO and said that they do work with Agora Models for the U.S...but I should of gotten it from the IXO division...lololol No big deal... Thought I'd tell you about that.. Best regards always across the pond...
Lister the Dumb - Don't downplay assembling a model as child's play! I "just assembled" a 1:8 scale 1935 Mercedes Benz Special Roadster and it was comprised of 2,364 separate pieces, including wire wheels that were built one spoke at a time. The model had 6 of them too, as it had two spares. My guess would be that you couldn't even "assemble" the wire wheels.
Yes. I've seen this car on the track a few times. Even with Stirling Moss driving it. Look at photos on line . It always shows a black mesh,like the front grill. It ruins the whole model for me. If I was building this model I would paint the mesh Matt black. So it at least looks better.
@meeshker - That is interesting because I just received the book "Mercedes Benz Grand Prix W196 : Spectacular Silver Arrows" by Karl Ludvigsen. With the exception of the color cover photo, the dozen or so original photos clearly show the screening to be a silver metallic finish, so not all of them were black! The model is a super fine mesh too! Don't understand how you feel that it "ruins the whole model"? Easy enough to paint matt black if you desire. My point is I think you are making too big a deal over something that is easily corrected. 🤔
Oh no 😵💫 Mistake number one. The Union Jack flag or Union Flag has been inaccurately printed on the bodywork! Look closely and compare to the real thing!
@MojaveBNSF - You must be British, have a keen eye, or both! Good find! I kept looking at it before I noticed the thin red lines in the X are reversed. I'm from the States so likely no one here will notice. But thanks to your sharp eye, I now know and can point it out to my friends! 😄
That plastic packaging is more to protect the parts from contacting each other during shipping and possibly damaging them, especially the painted ones. The nice appearance is merely coincidental. Don't know where you are from, but that plastic is likely recyclable so there is no waste! 🙂
This is a disgusting example of over packaging and how this product requires yet more tooling to produce the vac form moulds just because somebody can't be bothered to actually look in a bag full of screws/ parts etc, of course this will be defended by stating that it's to facilitate ease of assembly and creating a professional look to the product, but it's nearly getting to the stage when you will soon be supplied with some poor Chinese / Asian child to come pre booked with the kit on a return ticket and build it for you then you can sit back and brag that you built this! Sorry totally unimpressed, bring back the times and aptitude when the likes of Gerald Wingrove were alive that was model MAKING not MODEL ASSEMBLY! 👎👎👎
@Muzfuz - A "disgusting" example of over packaging you say. Who pissed in your coffee before you wrote that anger filled diatribe? Chill out man! Packaging the parts in bubble enclosures, especially the painted or delicate ones, is done to protect them during shipment and has nothing to do with ease of assembly or creating a professional look. It is actually the most common method used today and the best one yet to help protect and make parts readily visible for quick, easy identification. The models of Gerald Wingrove and this model have but one thing in common - they are both models! His were entirely built from scratch, something very few people who love to build (assemble) models are capable of. This is just what it claims to be, an intricate, well made, mostly metal kit that will provide many hours of enjoyable and relaxed model building. 👍👍👍

Who do you think you are, Stirling Moss? One for older viewers there. Didn’t Merit bring out one of these as a kit many centuries ago?

Shame the built in grill on the front is all wrong.
It needed to be a separate panel.
It needs to be black like the other grill and fine mesh.
Are you talking about the headlight cover...
I was thinking the same thing...
Yes. I've seen this car on the track a few times. Even with Stirling Moss driving it.
Look at photos on line . It always shows a black mesh,like the front grill. It ruins the whole model for me. If I was building this model I would paint the mesh Matt black.

@MojaveBNSF - You must be British, have a keen eye, or both! Good find! I kept looking at it before I noticed the thin red lines in the X are reversed. I'm from the States so likely no one here will notice. But thanks to your sharp eye, I now know and can point it out to my friends! 😄
Much too expensive, 10 bucks a month but not 70 plus a month. Jeez it isn't an rc car
The amount of plastic packaging waste with any of these builds is shocking, I know it's to make it look better but it's still such a waste,
That plastic packaging is more to protect the parts from contacting each other during shipping and possibly damaging them, especially the painted ones. The nice appearance is merely coincidental. Don't know where you are from, but that plastic is likely recyclable so there is no waste! 🙂
This is a disgusting example of over packaging and how this product requires yet more tooling to produce the vac form moulds just because somebody can't be bothered to actually look in a bag full of screws/ parts etc, of course this will be defended by stating that it's to facilitate ease of assembly and creating a professional look to the product, but it's nearly getting to the stage when you will soon be supplied with some poor Chinese / Asian child to come pre booked with the kit on a return ticket and build it for you then you can sit back and brag that you built this! Sorry totally unimpressed, bring back the times and aptitude when the likes of Gerald Wingrove were alive that was model MAKING not MODEL ASSEMBLY! 👎👎👎
@Muzfuz - A "disgusting" example of over packaging you say. Who pissed in your coffee before you wrote that anger filled diatribe? Chill out man! Packaging the parts in bubble enclosures, especially the painted or delicate ones, is done to protect them during shipment and has nothing to do with ease of assembly or creating a professional look. It is actually the most common method used today and the best one yet to help protect and make parts readily visible for quick, easy identification.
The models of Gerald Wingrove and this model have but one thing in common - they are both models! His were entirely built from scratch, something very few people who love to build (assemble) models are capable of. This is just what it claims to be, an intricate, well made, mostly metal kit that will provide many hours of enjoyable and relaxed model building. 👍👍👍
Nice video but was kinda hoping you would get the body work out for a closer look, maybe next video 🦘🇦🇺👍
