'71 Lamborghini Miura P400 Sv

[Randy Kern]

This is the Hasegawa 1/24 scale kit, built pretty much out-of-box. The paint is Dupli-Color Orange Mist, and the interior is detailed with Tamiya Metallic Gray. Since it has an engine, I made the louvered hatch open. It is a well-engineered kit, with the parts fitting up great. This car is my holy grail of exotic sports cars, as the styling is beautiful, and it's also very fast. I learned a couple new techniques building it, one from club members and one from this forum. Thanks!

Randy,

That turned out BEAUTIFUL! I LOVE it! I especially love the silver lower trim rather than the gold.

You have inspired me to take mine out.

Thanks,

Randy, thats not an easy kit, but you made it look easy...great job, I still have the Jota on the shelf , but not ready to start another project.......but seeing your Miura its tempting...

That is a great build Randy!!! Is this a newer kit? I don't ever remember seeing this one.

STUNNING build, Randy - you have enticed me to break down and spend the money to get this kit!!!

I keep seeing this car build and keep saying to my self, I want to dig mine out and start building it. That metallic orange seems to look good on so many cars and this one is no exception. Well done.

That looks awesome Randy! I actually started that same kit in hopes of having it done for the December CPMCC meeting. Not likely to have it finished though...

Oh Yeah! That's gorgeous! One of Lamborghini's most beautiful cars and yours is no exception.

At my age, the only Lambo that existed to me for a long time was the Countach. Until the show Top Gear did a segment on the Miura, I never even thought twice about them. Yours really keeps that new found love going! Very nice build there sir! I can hardly wait until Sat. to see it.

Gorgeous Miura

I'm surprised people mention the difficulty of this kit, I don't remember having any problems w/mine, it was a very well engineered kit. Very Tamiya-like. The hardest thing was trimming the chrome vent pieces that go next to the side glass. Neat trick you did to see the engine!

My first Lamborghini siting as a kid was a Miura; I knew what it was from reading car magazines, and I was riding in the back seat of our '69 Fury III on the way to the beach and an orange Miura was following us; the "eyelashes" around the headlights looked wild, and the roof of the car looked no higher than the trunk lid on our Plymouth That was a realllllly cool car to see and that I can remember to this day. Of course I was telling my Mom what was following us, I was a certified car geek then and knew the year and make of practially every car on the road then! Can't do that anymore
