This is my curbside 1971 Lamborghini Miura SV.  Fun easy build, and everything seemed to fit well.  Came with foil accents (badges, trim rings) and headlights are poseable.  Purple was Testors' Plum Crazy in a rattle can.  I am not really happy with my bare metal foil work but will have to keep working on it.

The wheels and tires look really nice to my eye.  Note the headlight in the "up" position.

Did I mention poseable steering?  Love this kit!

Thanks for looking.

Great build of the super car that started it all. This particular colour (mauve purple)  in a 71 Miura SV is currently for sale on the Tom Hartley website. Your build is a very good likeness of this very valuable 1:1. Really well done Steve. 

Cheers, 

David. ??Screenshot_20240606-215719_Chrome.jpg.6a9e8849badf96be98f0ac8d90880c46.jpg

@XYHARRY  That is really cool!!  Now if I could get 1/24th of 2 million pounds for it... ?

I was going to make excuses for the lack of mirrors (it just looks better without them) but I see that is oh so common in the 1:1 as well.  The lines are just too pretty to clutter up with mirrors!

Beautiful Lambo, Steve. Nice paint work. It really pops in the sun. Such a good looking car. I have this kit in the stash, but it really deserves to be built and put on the shelf.

@Bainford. Thank you!

You should definitely get yours out and give it a go.  It is a fun build and has such great lines.  So many awesome color options that would look good on it, too!
