Tommy124 Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 (edited) Hi Dann, I've seen this kit being done for so many times now and yet I'm sure you will add a new level of quality to it... Very anxious to see your further process, especially the "honeycomb grille trick"... Btw, isn't it strange that this type of grille is not available as separate aftermarket material in our beloved modelling scale? At least I have not found anything to this day. One could use this on several models besides the Miura, Ford GT 2016, for instance... Edited September 7, 2018 by Tommy124 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Italianhorses Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Yep, that dashboard is a disaster as it comes. Remember spending quite some time on mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Thomas!, It wont be long before I get to that Honeycomb grille, and yes, I think its Very odd/stupid that there isn't a PE part for that grill. The best PE set that I've seen...and have, is from Studio 27, but they not only lack that part, but they only give you ONE "Eye lash" headlamp base...….but you get the "lashes" for both!!?????....who does that???? I thought that maybe it was just loose in the package, or they forgot to put the other one in, but when I ordered my second set...…..it wasn't there either!!!! I still love their PE set though.....heres what it looks like..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here, Kurt!, looks like I will have to start SB one myself, then maybe resin-cast it if anybody else wanted one.....I could build a million of these!!….its that fun of a kit!!!!

Mike Chernecki Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Looks great so far, I have one in progress as well. I have one of the Studio27 set as well, are you going to attempt the door vents, the kit piece is awful? One of the door vent frame on my photo-etch set broke in half on the mid seam, trying to find a replacement from Studio27, but no response from them. Regarding the headlight ring, according to the instructions, I believe it is just a jig for setting the lashes and not meant to be used permanently, so just one included.

Thanks, Mike!, I've already built a Miura with the door vents, and eyelashes......it was a pain, so this one will NOT be having them.....I like it better this way anyway.....a bit of Jota. I will have to check-out the instructions again about that Jig thing......boy do I feel stupid......lol -look forward to seeing yours!!

Dann Tier Posted September 9, 2018 Author Share Posted September 9, 2018 For fewer individual parts to paint, I decided to attach the "Oh...T" handle, and E-brake. I also remembered to scribe the final line on the dash (where the arrows pointing) I had to use Plasti Zap to fill an over-scribe mark.

Nacho Z Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 As always, great stuff going on here, Dann! Always a pleasure watching your builds come to life. I do have a question regarding Hasegawa's Miura kits. Are they all the same? I'm referring to the kits that list the chassis number on the box art. Hope that makes sense. Thanks!

geetee66 Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Blimey Dan, you set yourself high standards, don't you? Your previous build looks bang-on! And that paint....! Fantastic finish. Looks 1:1 so, if this next build is going to be an improvement on that, I'm really looking forward to seeing it. I don't usually build anything that I can't alter in some way. Box stock leaves me cold. BUT, having seen what a beautiful model this kit builds into, I'm very tempted to see what I could do with it. I got to sit in one of these, at a posh event last summer. Stunning car. You can see where modern Lamborghinis get the hexagon theme from. And to think this car was originally sketched out by a teenager!! Amazing!

I have that same PE set... But then again, this build is about the Miura SV, and the SV (unlike the "normal" Miura) did NOT have those eye lashes. So they shouldn't be required anyway, or am I mistaken...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang1989 Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Haven't ever tried anything like this before but you make this look so dang easy that it's tempting to pick one of these up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FabbricaP Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 (edited) Looking good Dann. That single eyelash headliight backing PE part is really odd. Guess somebody at Studio27 messed up.The PE set looks excellent otherwise. If those little PE parts above the badges are louver vents the Miura is shooting up a couple places on my build list lol!

The difference being the decals, and the fact that they are molded in the box art photos of each kolor. If it were me, i'd go for the original/red one, since it has ALOT more decal options. The other two kits have the same sparser decal sheets. The first set is ONLY in the red box, the other two kits have the same set as this second photo....all three have the same chrome transfers.....

Nacho Z Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Thanks Dann!! I appreciate it very much. Thank you for taking the time to not only answer my question but for taking the time to take pictures of the different sheets. You went above and beyond! I have always liked this car, not super hot on it but liked it. Seeing various builds of Hasegawa's kit and your resounding endorsement of said kit, I can't help but wanting to get one. The information you just provided helps in my decision of which one to pick up. Thanks again!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to help, John!, its a fantastic kit!!, and I think I will start working on SB a complete engine for one, and make a mold so that I can resin cast it for whoever....
