rusty85 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Aoshima announced a new 1/24 Lamborghini Sesto Elemento due out late this year. Linky Hopefully some day we might get an Egoista to go with the Sesto and the Veneno and complete the trifecta of mad bulls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BVC500 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Ehhhh. I would have been more excited at other options, like a short tail McLaren. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinfan5 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 We have known about this kit since the Nuremberg Toy Fair , but it was not "officially" announced , any ways here are a few pics of the 3D printed mock up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rusty85 Posted August 25, 2015 Author Share Posted August 25, 2015 I suppose if you wanted to help pay to keep the lights on at Stevens or some other middle man it might cost that. I personally haven't paid more than $35 for any current production Japanese kit...ever.As of right now that's not part of the product development plans, but if people want an Egoista then they need to "petition" Aoshima, or even Fujimi for it. Do you know of any way to contact Fujimi? I've never seen a website or found a FB page for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aoshima have blown me away with the last couple of releases, the amount of detail rivals Tamiya now. Reproducing the finish on this thing is going to be a PITA, and probably very expensive in CF decals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Hall Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Nice, knew it was coming, but I'd rather see a Huracan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rusty85 Posted August 25, 2015 Author Share Posted August 25, 2015 Nice, knew it was coming, but I'd rather see a Huracan.I'm sure its in the pipeline with with Aoshima or Fujimi. The Huracan's only been out a little over a year now. It took close to two years for the first kit of the Aventador to make it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's exactly why I never got a R35, at my local hobbylobby bout 10mins ferther than micheals which is a good 30min drive away, it was $65! I walked away disgusted! Picked up an aoshima merc benz sl63 amg (non custom wheel version) for $25 instead! Edited August 25, 2015 by B_rad88 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbwelda Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 the Sesto is 30.15 US$ at the moment, on preorder due in Decemberhttp://www.hlj.com/product/AOS01073/Aut plus 12$ for the aoshima detail sethttp://www.hlj.com/product/AOS01075/Aut plus shipping of course but that is pretty reasonable usually.jb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B_rad88 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 True, but i thought i had got a good deal on the merc sl63. Well atleast i was happy with it, n thats all that matters right? Lol. Speaking of the sl63, is there a sl65 (the v12 car)same body style years in kit? Also is there any aftermarket parts for my sl63? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niteowl7710 Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 (edited) The 6th Element took a few months longer than it's original Christmas release, but has passed muster in Italy & Japan and was released this morning. Looks to be exceptionally well detailed without being exceptionally complicated to build. The kit can be built either as the prototype or one of the 20 production vehicles so if nothing else you'll net a spare set of wheels for your purchase. People who are willing (or have a plethora of reasons why they can't use a Japanese vendor) and pony up for the Export version will get a clear body for the increased price tag your LHS charges.*dusts hands* Onto the next Super Car!

Rob Hall Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 It's in my HLJ Private Warehouse w/ a Belkits Escort and the Hasegawa N360...debating on whether to ship now, or wait on the Ebbro '69 Lotus F1 car that's supposed to be out next month (but that kit keeps getting delayed, was supposed to be out in '14 originally).
