Tom Geiger Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 I'm not much of an exotics kinda guy but I've always liked the Miura. Ever since I got this Matchbox one in sixth grade. You can see my "improvements". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dann Tier Posted December 18, 2018 Author Share Posted December 18, 2018 1 hour ago, djflyer said: Dann, you certainly have my interest with this one (along with the DB5). The Miura has been one of my all time favorite cars - the styling is still great after 50 years. I hoped that Fujimi would release it in their EM series, but I guess it wasnt to be. So the Hasegawa kit is now on its way. I will be interested to see how the engine bay detail compares to the 'Tilt' kit of the Jota, which I thought was pretty good. (so why did I trade to Kennyboy???) Now if I could just find that Urraco..... Ya, I was always dumb-founded about why they wouldn't have done one either...….its only an important car that wears the title; "First ever super car"!! Those Tilt kits are actually pretty nice....I've built a few. Is this the Urraco you're looking for?; I found it on ebay a few years back.

I seem to recall when the EM series really got going, the Miura was on the list of planned releases, but they never got past the (mostly) Porsches and Ferrari's. That is the only Urraco kit I know of, but they dont show up much and LS quality can be spotty. How's it look? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has its good points....lol, a little later, I can post photos of the parts if you want?....its definitely a very "Doable" kit, and there is a racing version of it, but its gonna be the same kit you know.

djflyer Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Dann, post away with the pics when you get a chance. I would love to see what 'cha get with that one. It might save me from having to convert a Silhouette like I planned. btw - I'm stealing your blue over gray scheme for a highly modified Dodge Magnum I have been working on.

I am definitely interested in at least one of each. The M1 and Tii sets also have a need for. How can I order these? Yes, Fredl does some good stuff at fair prices.

Not a Urraco but if you are interested in an Espada, there is one SMP24 resin kit left in Sports Cars Modeling's web store right now: http://mizorogiscm.shop-pro.jp/?mode=cate&cbid=2315812&csid=0&sort=n It is expensive, and it is worth every yen. The Urraco is slated to be reissued some time in the future. The next kit in line will be the 308 GT4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djflyer Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 OK Dann, the Hase Miura P400 SV kit showed up -red plastic and all. Great kit and the engine detail looks like it could be done up quite well - but the rear cover doesn't open (?) At least on the kit I have ,what about yours?

Here is whats in the Uracco kit; To me, it has three issues, the lower doors/rockers aren't curved under enough, and it doesn't have any door cards. Fixing the body issue isn't bad, and I will be using the door cards out of a spare Sihlouette kit. -Almost forgot....the two vents on the bonnet need to be deeper as well....easy job. I like this kit a lot, and its on this years "To Do" list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dann Tier Posted January 3, 2019 Author Share Posted January 3, 2019 Hey, everyone!, its back to working on this, as well as my 1/12 Countach, 1/24 Reventon, and Lotus Esprit. Today I decided to flock three of the interiors, and with that out of the way, I can start the interior assemblies tomorrow!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
