I washed and dried the kit, masking off where the blue was to go and spray painted that area. After a few days of drying I peeled off the masking tape added the front and rear bumpers and laid up all of the decals and they were just superb! On finishing the rolling chassis, I added the windows after painting the black areas. I then attempted to add the body to the chassis and found that difficult, as the body didn't stretch as far as it needed to. This took off the front bumper ruining the beautiful multi coloured top decal! I debated whether I should attempt to remove all of that decal or leave it as 'a shunt that had happened on the previous stage'! I re-attached the front bumper using super glue, cut the front attachment pins from the chassis., and re-assembled the body chassis. Now in place I added the smaller items to the body, tyre decals from stash, exhaust alloy tubes, mud flaps and front night driving stage lamps. And later seen outside the workshops.. In future I shall test fit more often or totally build the kit and add the decals as the last process.

Bummer about the decals on the front bumper. Nice build. Who is the kit by?

Never heard of Nu Nu. Saw the name in your title, but it didn't click for me. Are they new or a repop of some other maker?

There are a few new manufacturers coming into the UK on a regular basis, NuNu is one and the other is Belkits. They both are showing newer european race and rally cars.

I love a 911. Shame about the bumper, kit still looks good though.
