Bodnarus Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 One of the most beautiful cars ever made. I see you're quite a serious builder. What's your body painting preferences? Based on your photo's I'd say a base of Mr Surfacer 1200 primer, some sort of lacquer airbrushed on with Tamiya medium grit compound between coats and a final coat of Mr Hobby gloss, finished with Tamiya polishing compound.

Thanks. The build process is in my original post - I'd say Mr surfacer 1200 is pretty much the same as Tamiya grey surfacer, and compounds in between coats don't yield much because even the course tamiya compound is not strong enough to properly flatten the orange peel - so I always hit with 2000 or 3000 grit before hitting it with compounds.

A 2K-3K sand before the polishing compound; the oldest tricks are often still the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smitty Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 What a knockout! Your execution on this model is first rate all around. After seeing your work on this I predict a lot of people will be wanting to build their own copy of this kit. Me included! I’ll have to see if I can find one. Thanks for sharing some of your build details as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Darby Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Nice, but where's the model? 😉 Seriously though, super nice job on both the build and the photography. Miuras are my favorite Lambos, and you did this one proud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a recent re-release so they're available for cheap price as well.
