Posted February 14 (edited) She moves along fairly quickly, pretty simple build Waiting on weather to improve before spraying a 2K clear on the body. Edited February 14 by Twokidsnosleep Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 19 I have parked this one for a bit Letting the weather warm up a bit before trying to 2k clear the body I have wreaked the silver Lamborghini script for the back, so will have to figure that out There was no decal for the steering wheel centre, so I have ordered some from Asia....and they will take time Moving onto another build while I wait.

Hey Kelson, The kit is actually pretty good, it is a curb side, but the engine detail is ok and fitment seems reasonable. If you like this body style I say go for it, just be careful of the decals...it was my bad, I can't blame them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 19 Looks good! I enjoy Fujimi kits. The right amount of easy and details for a simple but satisfying build Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Indeed, it is very well engineered You wouldn't happen to have a source for a Lamborghini script metal transfer?? it is like a photo etch script of the letters I have a ton of aftermarket Ferrari ones form eBay, but bugger if I can find a lambo one to replace my destroyed decal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 26 Got my round and crest plastic 3D transfer badges today in the mail from eBay. Love these things one goes on front nose other goes on the steering wheel Used the normal kit decals on the wheels Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 26 Looking good. Interesting approach to apply the nose emblem before the clear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ya, I was thinking that as I was lying in bed...badges are usually put on after a car is cleared in 1:1 I got a little excited with new transfers Might be trouble with the clear pooling if I am not careful Edited February 26 by Twokidsnosleep Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 27 This build is making want to buy one of these kits. The gallardo has aged beautifully and was a design ahead of its time. Any glaring flaws on this kit? Extra panel lines or anything ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Any glaring flaws on this kit? Extra panel lines or anything ? Hi James This is a super kit. Nice and clean, minimal panel lines and so far good fit. Now I have not got body, engine tub and cockpit tub all together yet as final assembled, but the dry fits seem ok I do recommend it, my only knock is the decals don't include everything I would want....that is why some aftermarket badges Edited February 27 by Twokidsnosleep Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
