happy grumpy Posted January 31, 2023 Posted January 31, 2023 Some say it is the very first real supercar, to me , it is one of the most beautiful car of Italian design. The kit is pretty straight forward albeit for a few confusing placements in the instructions but the fit is on par with most Japanese kits. I went for Tamiya pure orange Ts 13 coated with semi gloss black for the lower side panels. The chrome sticker badges are a nice touch. Thanks for looking. 9
Hard_2_Handle_454 Posted January 31, 2023 Posted January 31, 2023 I love it. Looks a lot better than how mine came out.
Street Rod Posted January 31, 2023 Posted January 31, 2023 Great job! I like the orange, not what you usually see on a Lamborghini.
Zippi Posted January 31, 2023 Posted January 31, 2023 Great looking Lambo Mario. That color looks nice. As always, Great build. I see your service center has added a Coke machine outside.
David G. Posted January 31, 2023 Posted January 31, 2023 I agree, it's one of the most beautiful cars ever designed. Your version certainly does it justice, well done! David G.
70 Sting Posted January 31, 2023 Posted January 31, 2023 Well, that looks like a 1:1 car to me. ? Curious, did you use the kit decals for the headlight wells or paint them?
SpikeSchumacher Posted January 31, 2023 Posted January 31, 2023 Nicely done Mario! I have the Jota SVR version that I need to get off of the "shelf of doom"...?
spencer1984 Posted January 31, 2023 Posted January 31, 2023 Beautiful work, the Miura has always been a favorite design.
espo Posted January 31, 2023 Posted January 31, 2023 Like the color and the beautiful finish and trim. I agree with you about being a super car. There was a guy who had one in the late '60's and would drive by work sometimes in the morning. I can still remember the shrieking noise that the engine made as he went through the gears. Could make the hair on the back of your neck stand up.
Rich Chernosky Posted January 31, 2023 Posted January 31, 2023 Another stunning build Mario. What did you use for the wheels, they really caught my eye and look very good with this color.

Thanks David, Bertone was a great designer, he also designed the Lancia Stratos body, which I have in the pipeline. 5 hours ago, 70 Sting said: Well, that looks like a 1:1 car to me. ?

Yes I did use the decals but I painted the bottom of the well since the decals only cover the top part. 3 hours ago, SpikeSchumacher said: Nicely done Mario!

Thank you Mathias, I also have this one on my to do list, looking forward to see yours. 3 hours ago, cobraman said: That turned out real nice .

I wanted to test AK xtreme metal paint which is a good substitute for testors metalizer which was my favorite metal paint but now unavailable. The color is pale burnt metal. I also use them for exhaust pipe and mufflers.
1959scudetto Posted January 31, 2023 Posted January 31, 2023 Again a fantastic build, Mario - brings out the aggressive elegance of the original which is certainly one of the most beautiful sportscars ever. Marcello Gandini admitted he was inspired by the Ford GT40 when designing this car. (I have 2 in my stash) 1
beeRS Posted February 1, 2023 Posted February 1, 2023 Very nice indeed. Definitely one of the most beautiful cars ever designed. 1
Tommy124 Posted February 1, 2023 Posted February 1, 2023 Congrats Mario, beautiful build! ? The color reminds me very much of this one: 1
ismaelg Posted February 1, 2023 Posted February 1, 2023 Beautiful presentation of a beautiful job in one of the most beautiful cars ever made! Love it! Thanks, Ismael
Bainford Posted February 1, 2023 Posted February 1, 2023 Lovely Lambo, Mario. Looks great in orange, and the wheel paint has just the right look to it. Very nicely done.
