Paul B Technic Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 Am I the only one who prefers the b-model to this set? I do, IF I buy it then it will be to build the B model. Quote
Zimix Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 I should receive one in a few hours from now, and it will be build first in B model. Quote
thestericho Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 I do, IF I buy it then it will be to build the B model. I am 91% towards building the a model of this set acording to rebrickable(swapping out green parts for black/red) So I should be able to build the B model, I am already planning a RC version of it Quote
Jim Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 I will commence building the B-model today. Been a long time since I've built a B-model. However, don't underestimate tye A-model. I think it's a pretty good model. Quote
Miscman Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 I built the A model last night, using white for green and red for white. 86% of the parts needed came from 42029 and 42038. I stole some white panels from 42025 cargo plane and red ones from 9394. The size is very impressive. I just wish they kept the preliminary cockpit and the area right behind the cockpit. Maybe they'll post the preliminary instructions. :P Quote
5imon Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 Interesting! How did you model the mudguards? Afaik, they are not available in any other set (and colour) so far. Since I also own the 42038 and many other sets, I could probably try to rebuild it myself. Quote
Lucio Switch Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 Builded, IMO, it looks good from above, but very ugly from the sides. I'm not very satisfied. In the coming days I will try the B-model that seems to be more cute. Quote

vliet Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 Built the A model yesterday, just to see how it looked. Will take it apart soon to built the B model because I too like that one better. Quote

Since I also own the 42038 and many other sets, I could probably try to rebuild it myself. I used 4 white flex axils for the front fenders (from the mindstorms R2D2), 2 on each side. For the rear I used red ones from various sets. Quote
Meatman Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 (edited) Looks like the lights from the leaked version are available in some sets this year: http://brickset.com/parts/6100761 Looks like they're in Wonder Woman's invisible jet and one of the new Agents sets. I would like to get a few of those and swap out the trans black ones in my red model of Paul's Phantasm Turbo. Edited January 14, 2015 by Meatman Quote

vliet Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 Just finished building the B-model and I don't like the wheels, I put white wheels with 68.8x36H tires, they are a bit small but look better Quote
TheItalianBrick Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 Same here. Bricks and Pieces still closed though :( do you know when will we be alble to purchase again?? I can't wait I really needs tons of new parts!!! Does anybody has a date?? Quote
davebarrett Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 do you know when will we be alble to purchase again?? I can't wait I really needs tons of new parts!!! Does anybody has a date?? Just "end of January" Quote
Alexe Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 Picked this up three days ago with big expectation, especially for the B-model. Based on the pictures I've seen on the 24h Car I was unsure if I should buy it or not, but the B-model made me do so. I started building the A-model and got VERY IMPRESSED. The model is much bigger than I thought, very sturdy and it was an amazing 5-6h build. The next day I took it apart to build the B-model which I was looking forward to. My expectations was higher than the result and I actually got a bit disappointed. On the other hand, I am really satisfied with the A-model so I just finished building it again. For all of you who's not having the 42039 on the store shelves yet, save your money because you will really want this one! Quote
Jim Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 I share your feelings. I like this set a lot. Working on a full review as we speak. Quote
Alasdair Ryan Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 Working on a full review as we speak. Mmm,have I not heard you say that before? Quote
Jim Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 Mmm,have I not heard you say that before? This one is actually progressing nicely I am even working on a fully motorized version. Have been rebuilding the chassis in LDD tonight, to figure out the best motor placement. There's ample space, so the possibilities are endless. Quote
Alasdair Ryan Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 This one is actually progressing nicely Ah but you said the same thing about the other ten reviews you are currently doing as well. Quote
Jim Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 By the way; this turns out to be a very useful part: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=15100 It's very convenient when linking beams together. Quote

Oh,yes I need to get some of those. PS this part too as also good for joining two beams together. http://www.bricklink...Item.asp?P=2780 Edited January 19, 2015 by Alasdair Ryan Quote
PROlego Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 Oh,yes I need to get some of those. PS this part too as also good for joining two beams together. http://www.bricklink...Item.asp?P=2780 I need to get some. They seem to be very rare. I hope there are some cheap ones in black. Quote
RSL80 Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 (edited) I also create the B-model. Edited January 20, 2015 by RSL80 Quote
