I present to you the gorgeous Lamborghini Murcielago.

The exterior paint is Cobra Colors' 'Arancio Atlas Pearl'. An authentic Lamborghini color.
It's a 3 stage paint (midcoat/topcoat/clear), and it came out fantastic.
I highly recommend these awesome Lamborghini pearls.
The color is extremely hard to photo. I hope you get some idea of the color.
The pearls can make parts of the car look yellow, and other parts bright orange.

The wheels are stock, with the centers painted black.
The interior was painted 3 shades of tan/brown, and black.

I modified the front windshield as Veyron did.
Lowered it front and back, and widened the front track 2.5mm per side.

I hope you enjoy

hmm I like it a lot... painjob looks great! only little detail is the placing of the front decal, you might want to move it back a little... IMHO

I got to have one of these and that colour is just spot on, hard to photo or not I love it. Isn't it annoying when you have that fabolous paint job and can't show people what it really looks like. I have the same problems with my ongoing Ferrari Daytona, it looks nothing in the pics that it does in real life.

Thanks Oli! I know the decal is supposed to be on the hood, but I don't think it looks good there. So I moved it to the nose.

Thanks guys! :)

a little comment on the italian car shift knob...
the shift knob could be replace with a steel ball, which can be found in a tiny bearing, or you can go to Ace hardware to get a size that fit on it. hope that helps.

That's awesome. The color is just so beautifull!!! One small thing, the exhaust pipes... They seem to be a little far to the left... Is that correct, or is it just the photo?

Gorgeous! Mr. Clean strikes again. I wish I could see it in person, I'm sure that color is deep enough to swim around in.

Killer model! Some models look better in pics, some look better in person-this one looks like an exact version of the 1:1 car in scale when you see it. :sunglasse

Thanks for all the awesome comments guys!

asaenz - this kit is made by Fujimi. This car was built from the standard kit. They have 3 versions of it out. Here are some links.

Bas Carwash - Yes, the exhaust pipes are off they attach to the chassis funky, and do lean to the left a bit.
I have 4 days left before entering this in a show, and will most likely fix them. Or I may change them to this configuration:

I got a chance to take better pics tonight. They don't show the color change as well but they show the car better.
