martinfan5 Posted February 4, 2019 Posted February 4, 2019 Finished this one up, paint is Lamborghini Verde Ithaca Green from Scalefinishes, this was not my first color choice to paint it, wanted to go with a Orange but I was not able to get it mixed up. Over all, this is not a great kit, there is whole lot of stuff that just does not fit good, the side windows dont seat in the opening, the rear end piece doesnt fit at all unless trim some off of the chrome taillight piece. The rocker panel pieces dont fit all that great either. The real car comes in this odd Carbon Fiber pattern( interior,engine compartment, wing) that no one has accurately done in decals yet. It was very hard photographing this color, had to go darker on the exposure to even kind of capture the correct shade and not have it blown out . I did use some bits from the Detail Up Set.

89AKurt Posted February 4, 2019 Posted February 4, 2019 Looks good from here, but still good to know about lousy fit issues.
cobraman Posted February 4, 2019 Posted February 4, 2019 Even with the fit problems you turned out a knockout !
slusher Posted February 4, 2019 Posted February 4, 2019 It looks great to me Jonathan! I really like this car and bought a die cast in scale 1/25...
Belugawrx Posted February 4, 2019 Posted February 4, 2019 Very striking colour, I like it ! Is this the Aoshima kit ?
FabbricaP Posted February 4, 2019 Posted February 4, 2019 Great job, love that color. Aoshima’s recent kits are very good but still not up to Tamiya-quality parts fit level imo. I found a lot of similar fit issues with their Aventador kit
Ich_Will Posted February 4, 2019 Posted February 4, 2019 Looks great. Splash Paints has the CF decals you need if you decide to do it again. I'll be starting my Arancio Borealis Huracan later this spring.

Funkychiken Posted February 7, 2019 Posted February 7, 2019 Considering the fit issues you mention, it looks like a great kit!
olschoolkid Posted February 8, 2019 Posted February 8, 2019 Looks like a nice Lamborghini to me. Despite all the fitment issues, you did a good job.
bbowser Posted February 9, 2019 Posted February 9, 2019 All of the above. Sure won't miss that one on the road!
RAMBENNA Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 sweet job, looks great in that color. nice work
beeRS Posted February 16, 2019 Posted February 16, 2019 Great job! I think ot came out fantastic despite the fitting problems, and I think the green really suits it. I have the Aoshima kit in my stash. I'll build it some day, but with the fit issues mentioned, I think it may stay on the shelf for a long time.
