martinfan5 Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 (edited) Decided I wanted to start on this one, at first, I was going to paint it Lambo Ithca Green , but I came across Blu Nethuns and after cleaning up the drool, decided that was the color I wanted to use, so off sent a email to Jameston and he had to disappoint me and tell me that he could not find the color codes, as Lamborghini keeps a lot of them a secret(well , more or less), so we did some looking at different shades of blue, two shades of blue from the VAG group that come close are VW Deep Blue, and Audi Sepang Blue, thinking I will use one of them. Here is a look at all three of them And a look at the box I found the paint code for Lambo Monterey Blu which was the old name for it, so I sent Jameston the info and waiting to hear back from him.

microwheel Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 Looks like its going to be a great kit to build. Know wonder your drooling over it. We dont get access to very many import kits up in in my neck of the woods. To get to a hobby shop anywhere near me that would have any of them, is almost a 5 hour drive. I envy you lol.
maltsr Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 I'll be watching this Jonathan might have to dig mine out LOL

If you can access the internet ( I'm assuming here ?) then you can get this kit & just about any other kit you want.... It's called eBay or there are hundreds of on-line retailers to get kits from ??

Order these kits on eBay. I highly recommend thepolarbearstable2012. In the last couple months I have ordered all of the Aoshima Lamborghini and a few Hesegawa and Fujimi Ferrari kits. In each case the price and shipping very reasonable compared to others and I recieved them in a couple days. Twice I ordered on Friday and had the kits on Tuesday, thats Japan to Canada.
cobraman Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 Great color. Looking forward to seeing this one done.
martinfan5 Posted October 29, 2014 Author Posted October 29, 2014 Jameston came through, and my bottle of Nethuns Blu is enroute to me, on to some photos , up first, some mock up shots and started work on the chassis , Tamyia Matt Black was used The brake rotors, started off with painting them with Model Master Metalizer Aluminum, followed by Model Master Metalizer Burnt Metal, the calipers MM Metalizer Gun Metal And on all fours , and you can see the wheels have been strip of the chrome plating And another mock up Moving on the engine I believe I used ALcald Aluminum, valve covers in Matt Black
Mike Chernecki Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 I have yet to build my kit. How sturdy is the body after removing all the bracing? Will there be a chance of breakage during sanding and painting?
slusher Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 Nice build subject Jonathan. Great looking shades of blue. Really looking forward to your progress
Byron5150 Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 This should be awesome check out my dudes build (aka favorite youtube builder) he's japanese so you can't read the tips unless you translate but he's got some great tips and tricks http://youtu.be/xt4CIzkYBVM?list=UUEy_CTgFTI6H3UMCDx-rCtw I will definitely be watching this
martinfan5 Posted October 31, 2014 Author Posted October 31, 2014 I have yet to build my kit. How sturdy is the body after removing all the bracing? Will there be a chance of breakage during sanding and painting?Oh, it is not sturdy at all without the bracing, after removing the bracing, you are not going to want to handle the body more than need be, I am working on something that I can attach to the underside of the body that will make more stable and easier to paint it.

Thought so given the full roll cage of bracing surrounding the body. Thanks for the info.
martinfan5 Posted November 7, 2014 Author Posted November 7, 2014 Not a lot done on this, body in alittle bit of primer

maltsr Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 Wait no more Paul Still need to do a final coat just make sure all the panels have even coverage I do this all the time, trying to see what it will look like when finished - looks really nice Jonathan
Mike Chernecki Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 Looking good, great color. There is a guy in town that actually owns a roadster in this color and a black coupe.. nice to be filthy rich.
