Good looking build.

Outstanding work on an old kit. The seats are fabulous.

I remember now...Lindbergh made that kit. Pretty rude and crude..just the basics. I built these in 2004.

This might answer your question. Not exactly black, but a very dark red with a lighter red fogged on the bottom. Its the 1/20 version. Don't know who made the kit.

Good job Kurt, Its a cool kit and your choice of color is great.

I have quite a few models in my case with the engine separate. Its a result of hoarding parts and kits. Thanks for the compliment.

That really is incredible. Is this the car that engine goes to. Wish I had this when i built it. Thanks for posting.

Don't worry about the postage, need to know where to send it. PM me if you can. Anything else you need. Gonna be a real small package.

Dan...I have this extra set of Lambo wheels (two sets actually) and this oddball 1/12 or 1/16 tire. If Lamborghini used one of those space saver tires they might have used a different wheel. Yours free if you want. $70 sounds kinda steep for just a spare tire, but if you do the engine as a side display that might be cool.

Dan...not much to see here I am afraid. Battery, horns and some brake and clutch resevoirs. Mine was motorized and lighted so much of this space was allocated for the battery box (which i removed). I am sure you can spruce up this area a tad.

Great job on this one. Those graphics are no easy task and yours turned out superb. Did you paint them on or use the decals. Either way its a work of art.

Dan....this build caught my eye. And then I spent over an hour going through it. What incredible attention to detail. I don't think it matters what scale you build , you always seem to go the extra mile and your results are superb. A good friend of mine is tackling this very kit and I recently took these pictures of my build of the same from 20yrs ago to help him along. I will send him this link as well. . Hope you don't mind if I post them on this thread. Sure do wish this forum was around when I built this. I t was a great kit but I would have liked to take it to another level like you are doing.

Its looking real good, thanks for the information on the paint. Fitting the front will really help me on mine.

Beautiful job on a tough to build kit.. Excellent....like the body color.

Than you Dan....some of your interior work inspired me to go full kamakazi on this one.

Bruce...what did you use for the red ? . Sure is bright. I have this kit in an original and the re-issue. I was going to use Tamiya TS36 but it only gets that bright over red and not over primer. The clear looks awesome too.

Got this one done once I decided on a color I liked. this was stripped several times before I was happy. Color is Testors Laquer Wild Cherry Pearl #28113. Clear coat was with their Wet Look clear which was sanded and polished. Kit featured steering wheels , very detailed interior and engine, drivetrain and suspension . This kit went together very smoothly with only a few minor problems, some of which were my own doing. Rear tailights were 3 pieces each and you had to wait for the glue to dry on each one. Chrome reflector didn't fit as good as it could have (looks great from the outside) and eventually had to be reinforced with epoxy. As a whole this is one of Tamiya's finer kits. The fit and finish of all the parts made this a joy to do. See the photos for some extra info and thanks for looking. I really fussed over this interior. Lots of masking ans spraying. The red is a custom mix of Mr, Color semi gloss's This s twin turbo charged v-6. The fit of all the pipes was unbelievable. Car is a hybrid and there are 3 electric motors as well as this one. This is the engine cover and it was clear. I sprayed it a very light coat of semi black so some of the engine would show through. Note the tiny Honda emblem. It was almost microscopic and it went on right the first time...whew. Don't usually take a picture of the underside but it was too pretty to hide. The finished car has these covered in underpanels. See the two electric motors at the front to make this car an all wheel drive. This turned ouot to be the best photo of the car to show the true nature of the color. It really shines. Now you get an idea of the fussy tail lights. But they look good on the outside and that is what counts. There were many exterior details to take care of. Only thing I really didin't care for were the Honda emblems on the nose. At least i can peel them off if I want to. . They were not the usual metal stickers Tamiya uses. These had to be trimmed very close to the pattern and stuck on. Not the turn signal lights on the mirrors....chrome tape I put on.

I luved this kit, yours turned out spectacular.

Nice job Bruce, colour looks good. I mask and airbrush the black trim with Tamiya X-18. Its a lot more work but the lines come out nice and clean. Tamiya kits rule.

Mark...lookit what I was up close and personal with today. This was taken at the Watkins Glen Vintage Gran Prix. Can send you the rest to your PM. This one is a MKIIB so it is a little different than the one you are modeling.

I would drop this in any one of my Ford Gt models...no problem....real nice work.

There is a hole in the roof that you can see from the 3/4 rear veiw. Last photo. Yes...the wheels steer, Ya know I just can't stand for that not to happen. See the 1rst photo.

Another resin off the bench. This is a Fisher 1/24 Ferrari 512S that was campained by the Belgian team Ecurie Francoshamps. This kit was built in conjunction with my 512M posted a week ago. Some of the work was similar so I did both at the same time. Colour is Tamiya TS-16 (80%) and TS-34 Camel Yellow (20%). Extra features include steering wheels, seatbelts, and long stalk mirrors. The mirrors and seatbelts were missing from my kit so I had to scratchbuild them. Build went very smoothly. Chassis ready to be mated to the body Note the nice text ure on the seats, way different than the 512MLots of tiney parts all prepared and painted ready for final assembly. Not all of them were used but it was nice to have the extras. Panel lines were done with a nib pen and India ink. Firestone decals from the parts boxI like the angle of this photo, not the handmade roll bars from aluminium tube.

Very Nice build, that was a great kit.

Very nice, especially like the Dino prototype. Who's kit was it BTW ?
