Nice! Gallardo is snazzy too. I'm looking forward to building the roadster kit in a few years time.

If I were you I'd take a black permanent marker and black out the edges of the headlight covers to get rid of that white edge.

Topless murcielago=hot

That's a very nice roadster. The black makes it look sinister

Re: 3ric - Lamborghini Murchielago Roadster

Love it...for the nextr car you should really try to rub you're paint down to remove the orange peel. It's a lot of work but really worth the effort

If you imagine the skin of an orange, it's not smooth but slightly bumpy. That is what "orange peel" means on a paint finish. Caused by a number of things, and very, very difficult to avoid completely.
