I bought a Protar model of Bartali's 1938 Legnano in thinking that I would try to build it up to look like my own bike, sort of. When I opened the box though, there were some incredibly small and intricate pieces; not to mention that most of the main pieces were made of metal. If anybody has built up one of these kits I'd welcome tips on glue and any other construction techniques. Or are these kits just something to collect and not build?!

I'd love to see some photos of finished builds if there are any out there.
