Exotics_Builder Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 (edited) Here are the photos of what is in the Aoshima Lamborghini Aventador kit. I haven’t examined for sink marks or tree connection issues as yet. The kit has a lot more in it than the Fujimi, including metal pins for the doors and (I assume) hood as they all open. The optional PE set sure looks like it was done by KA models (who also do the Fujimi ones). But I haven’t checked that out either as yet. Here is what is in the kit.

mademan Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 I really want to cast those rear tires!!! 335/30/20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyotey1693 Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 I agree on casting the tires. What aftermarket wheels are available for the lambo? I have looked but havent come across anything. Jada makes a "players" lambo or "big time" version (cant remember what they call it but I know it's jada for sure) of the murcielago that has some really nice deep dish wheels that I have thought about hijacking for my lambo build.

Haubenschild Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 How much does this kit cost? This thread is really inspiring me to build one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinfan5 Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Hobby Link Japan has for $40.87, but its on back order at the moment Hobby search Japan has it for $45.63 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exotics_Builder Posted September 10, 2012 Author Share Posted September 10, 2012 Thanks Gerry, one more question. Does the PE set come with model? No, needs to be ordered separately. I also have the Fujimi Aventador (sorry I got it given the Aoshima) and Hobby Design PE for it. I will eventually explore how good the PE aimed for the Fujimi works or complements the Aoshima set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinfan5 Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 I think its HLJ has a P/E set for it around $10 or so, that is one of cheaper ones, I think the one Gerry bought was around $50 IIRC for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samurai7 Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Will you be getting the HRE "Vintage" Wheels from FG Models?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinfan5 Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 (edited) Aoshima's PE set that exotics has, should retail for between $20-25us. Dan Dan, you are correct, I thought the one he bought was a different one, my mistake this is the one from Aoshima http://www.hlj.com/product/AOS00140 Here is the one that cost about that the same as the kit http://www.hlj.com/product/ACS9408 Edited September 11, 2012 by martinfan5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samurai7 Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I can't seem to find anyone who sells the "Japan Only" full engine version. I've e-mailed HLJ and they didn't have any info. I wish Aoshima offered just the full engine sprues as an upgrade for us. That gives us the option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
