ASSEMBLY GUIDE – STAGE 1

Front wheel

and tyre

In the Assembly Guide section of each pack, detailed and fully illustrated step-by-

step instructions will guide you through the process of assembling your model

Huracán. Store any unused parts safely in labelled plastic bags until they are needed at a

later assembly stage.

In this assembly session, you will fit the tyre to the first of your model’s front wheels. This is a very

straightforward operation, for which you will need a pencil, fine-grade sandpaper and superglue

(cyanoacrylate adhesive). Always take great care when handling this powerful adhesive, and follow the

manufacturer’s instructions and safety advice when using it.

1 You will need the wheel, the tyre with its foam

insert, a pencil, a piece of fine-grade sandpaper and

a tube of superglue.

2 Roughen the inner surfaces of the grooves

around the wheel with some rolled-up, fine-grade

sandpaper to improve the adhesion.

Parts supplied:

A Front wheel

B Hubcap

C Lamborghini badge stickers

D Tyre with foam insert

E Nose panel

B C

3 Now lightly sandpaper the

inside edges of the tyre. To make

this easier, you can first remove

the foam insert.

4 Refit the tyre’s foam insert if

you have removed it, then push

the wheel into the tyre. Work the

wheel and tyre around to fit the

lips of the tyre sidewalls into the

grooves on the wheel.

5 When the tyre is fully in place,

make four pencil marks on the

circumference at 90° to each

other, on both sides of the wheel.

6 At each point that you have

marked on the outer side of the

wheel, lift up the tyre lip, carefully

put a small drop of superglue into

the groove, and press the tyre lip

back into place.

7 Use the same method to apply

glue at the marked points on the

inner side. When the adhesive has

dried, complete the gluing round

the whole circumference of each

groove. Press the tyre against the

wheel to obtain a firm, even join.

8 This is how the first front wheel

of your Huracán will now look.

ASSEMBLY GUIDE – STAGE 1

ASSEMBLY GUIDE – STAGE 2

Front shock absorber

In this stage, you will assemble the first of your Huracán’s

four shock absorbers and check its operation. Putting shock

absorbers together requires some concentration, so please

follow the instructions with great care so as not to risk

damaging the components or making any mistakes in

their assembly.

Parts supplied:

A Shock absorber oil

B Shock absorber components

C Tail panel

1 You will need all the shock absorber components

supplied in this pack, plus a pair of needle-nose

pliers, a modelling clamp, and a narrow strip of cloth

or thin card.

2 Take the shock shaft and identify the end with

the two small grooves in it. Using the needle-nose

pliers, fit an E-ring onto the groove that is closer to

the centre of the shaft.

3 4

5 6

3 Fit the piston onto the grooved

end of the shaft. Push it down

firmly, so that it butts up against

the E-ring that you fitted in the

previous step.

4 Take the second E-ring and,

again using the pliers, fit it into

the other groove on the shaft to

fix the piston in position.

5 The shock absorber body has

open ends. Hold it so that the end

facing you is the one with the

smaller diameter hole, and fit the

red washer into it.

6 Press the washer firmly into its

seating, then fit the black spacer

on top of it. The photograph

shows the spacer fitted in place.

7 Carefully screw the lower end

cap of the shock absorber onto

the body. Screw it on as far as it

will go, but don’t apply too

much force because that could

damage it.

8 Hold the shaft by the piston,

and lubricate the threaded end

with a few drops of shock

absorber oil.

9 Now insert the threaded end of the

shaft into the wide end of the shock

absorber body. Push it through the

washer until the threaded part

emerges from it, as shown.

10 Using your strip of card or cloth

to protect the shaft, grip it with pliers

and screw the ball end onto the

threaded part of it, using your

fingertips to tighten it.

With a modelling clamp, hold the

body of the shock absorber vertical.

Fill the inside with the oil supplied, up

to within about 1mm of the top.

Keep the shock absorber vertical

for a few minutes, to allow any air

bubbles to rise to the surface. To

encourage the removal of any

bubbles, carefully move the rod up

and down a few times.

13 Now push the ring of the shock

absorber top through the upper end

cap, as shown in the photograph.

14 Insert the rubber diaphragm

inside the upper end cap, with its

concave face up against the base of

the shock absorber top and the

convex face remaining in view.

15 Now screw the upper end cap

onto the upper end of the shock

absorber body. Tighten it just

enough for the diaphragm to

make the necessary seal so that

there is no loss of oil.

16 Screw the adjusting nut

(indicated by the arrow)

onto the body of the shock

absorber. Position the nut as

shown in the photograph.

17 Fit the spring over the shock

absorber shaft and up against

the adjusting nut. When the

assembly is complete, the nut

can be screwed in and out to vary

the amount that the spring is

compressed.

18 Fit the spring holder between

the end of the spring and the ball

end. The holder will keep the spring

in place.

19 Finally, insert the ball-headed

screw into the hole in the shock

absorber top. This screw is what will

secure the shock to the front shock

mount in the next assembly stage.

20 This photograph shows the

completed shock absorber. To check

its operation, hold its ends between

your forefinger and thumb, then

compress and release it.

ASSEMBLY GUIDE – STAGE 2

ASSEMBLY GUIDE – STAGE 3

Front shock mount

In this assembly session, you will attach the shock

absorber (assembled in the previous stage) to the

shock mount. You will install the fuel tank at a

later stage.

The fuel tank

The flattened shape of the fuel tank helps both to

keep the centre of gravity of the model as low as

possible and to distribute the weight more evenly.

The tank is supplied with two nozzles. One of them

will be connected by a tube to the pressure outlet

of the silencer, so that the exhaust gases can

increase the pressure inside the fuel tank to boost

the flow of fuel to the carburettor. The second

nozzle is the one that delivers the fuel to the

carburettor, via another plastic tube.

The two nozzles

supplied with the fuel

tank connect it, via

tubes, to the pressure

outlet of the silencer

and to the carburettor.

The fuel cap is ﬁtted

with a spring-loaded

internal washer that

prevents it from ﬂipping

open when the fuel tank

is pressurised.

Parts supplied:

A Front shock mount

B Fuel tank and nozzles

1 You will need the front shock

mount, the shock absorber you

assembled in the previous stage,

and a small screwdriver.

2 At each end of the shock

mount, you will see four holes: the

lowest one, which is countersunk,

will be used for the screw

attaching the mount to the

chassis. Now, though, you will be

using the middle hole (arrowed) in

the left-hand end of the mount.

3 Insert the ball-headed screw

on the shock absorber into the

hole, and turn it with a

screwdriver. To make this easier,

you can first use a suitably sized

self-tapping screw to cut a

starting thread in the hole.

4 Gently screw the ball-headed

screw in as far as it will go. To

avoid any risk of damaging it, do

not use too much force.

5 Tighten the screw until the

threaded part of it is completely

contained within the thickness of

the mount, and the shock

absorber can still pivot freely on

the head.

6 This stage is now complete, so

store the assembly safely until it

is needed again.

ASSEMBLY GUIDE – STAGE 3

ASSEMBLY GUIDE – STAGE 4

The parts supplied for this stage are components for the left front suspension, plus the foam bumper, which

you will fit later, and which will help protect the front end of your model from damage.

Left front upper arm

and hub carrier

1 For this assembly session, you will need the left

front hub carrier, the left front upper arm, the ball-

headed screw and the locknut. You will also need

two hex wrenches (Allen keys), 2.5mm and 5mm.

2 To make the subsequent assembly easier,

cut a thread in the hole of the left front upper

arm by screwing the ball-headed screw into it for

a few turns, using the 2.5mm hex key.

Parts supplied:

A Left front hub carrier

B Ball-headed screw

C Locknut

D Left front upper arm

E Bumper

3 Remove the screw from the

arm and place it in the upper hole

of the left front hub carrier, as

indicated by the arrow.

4 Using the 2.5mm hex key,

insert the ball-headed screw into

the hole in the hub carrier and

give it a couple of turns.

5 Tighten the screw until four or

five turns of the thread are still

showing. You will make final

adjustments to it later.

6 Put the plastic locknut into the

hole where the ball-headed screw

is, and tighten it onto the end of

the screw with a couple of turns

by hand.

7 Screw the locknut into the hub

carrier, using the 5mm hex key.

Don’t tighten it completely, to

avoid jamming the screw.

8 This assembly stage is now

complete. Before putting the

assembly away, check that the

upper arm and hub carrier are

free to move unhindered.

Front bumper plate

and body mounts

These are the first components for the front end of your model’s chassis. One of the main features of

this area of the car is the foam bumper (supplied with Stage 4), which will later be fixed to the chassis by

the plates and screws.

1 The components you will need are the bumper

plate, the two body mounts and supports, the two

body mount screws and the two self-tapping body

support screws. You will also need a suitable

Phillips screwdriver.

2 Locate the hexagonal seatings for the body

mounts on the bumper plate. Place a body

mount into one of them, with the holes facing

sideways, as shown in the photograph.

Parts supplied:

A Front bumper support

B Front bumper plate

C Front upper plate

D Front body mounts

E Front body supports

F Countersunk screws

G Long screws for upper plate

H Locknut

I Body mount screws

J Screws for upper plate

K Body support screws

3 Turn the plate over while

holding the mount in position,

then insert a self-tapping screw

(I) through the plate and into the

end of the body mount.

4 Using the screwdriver, tighten

the screw until it is fully inserted,

turning it slowly and gently to

avoid damaging the components.

5 Use the same procedure to fix

the second body mount in place.

Remember to position it with the

holes facing sideways.

6 Slide a body support onto one

of the body mounts, with its

domed side facing upwards. Turn

it so that the hole in its side is

facing outwards.

7 Adjust the position of the body

support until the hole in its side is

lined up with the third hole from

the bottom of the body mount,

then place a self-tapping screw

(K) into the hole in the support.

8 Tighten the screw to clamp the

body support to the mount, then

fix a support to the other mount

in the same way.
