received called from Allscripts. My monthly delivery issue actually now till 73. they ask my permission to sent all out in 1 shot. So, GO AHEAD!

so does that mean 5 final issues already at their office?

I just called the Allscript office and the last 5 issues are not here yet. They dont know when they will arrive but estimates to be next week.

Nice guys. Seeing the car coming to a completion is good. Sadly I have channelled my funds towards something else atm so still stuck at issue 25. T_T

What about the "general purpose adhesive" used from issue 69 onwards? The instructions specifically said not to use ABS adhesive.

I used 5 Ton epoxy as "General purpose". U must ready masking tape.

Aswlee, I just assemble monocoque, noticed that there a gap on left and right side and it is normal.

Monoque

Ahh, thanks. I'm using 5 minute epoxy, but apparently you have to be quite careful with it and use gloves and a mask.
Ran through a snag earlier in issue 73 with the front suspension but got a workaround to solve it

general purpose glue is normal elephant glue....i dont see why we need to use until epoxy for this model

also i mention tamiya and mrhobby cement are just actually two brands of ABS glue...

Just completed up to issue 80. 5 more issues to go....

Well elephant glue is cyanoacrylate adhesive which is used in other parts, especially metal components. The official DeA build diary used 5 minute epoxy as well.

Before this I not aware "General Purpose", glue.
And I did try using UHU adhesive, because it written "All Purpose" on label. I used it to assemble issue 76, it not stick as epoxy and leave marks.

Superglue also can use, it may dry within seconds.

Thanks, collinjn81.

On the glue topic,
For ABS, I used Tamiya extra-thin cement and Revell contacta professional (for those places where thin cement couldn't be used.

For general adhesive, I used UHU applied with a toothpick but I agree with collinjn81. Less sticky and takes some time to dry. Definately need tape to hold parts until it cures.

Apart from these 2, there's superglue for the metal parts.

All, I just picked up issues 81 - 85 from the Allscript office. Time to get yours for the final run to the chequered flag!

GREAT! thanks for the info....will fly there soon lol

Mine has that gap as well, but on the right side. Hopefully it'll even out once I assemble the monocoque onto the main body.

thanks for d updates....woohoooooooo

I already fix the gap.. As mention by Aswlee, I just unscrew all, and screw until the gap closed.

yeah.....finally...

So calculate how much money had already go to AllScripts
