Lamborghini Miura!!

Based on the Hasegawa kit, color is Pontiac Bristol Blue, rims are Testor's Metallizer Brass colored paint. Tamiya clear, wetsanded, buffed and polished. I used Acu-Stion Photo-Etch detail set for the emblems and other small details in the interior.

It's freakin' GORGEOUS!!! I love it! That blue sets it off perfectly and the photography really brings it home!! :sunglasse

Wow, absolutely stunning!
The color is perfect, very beautiful model and highly detailed

Very nice Modelfan! Seeing this makes me want to build mine. Here's a trick you might be able to use. The bmf around the Miura windscreen looks a bit heavy because it extends all the way to the surface of the windshield. You can lighten it by brush painting the area black just before you apply the clear coat. After body polishing, cut strips of the bmf and apply it to the windshield surround leaving a consistent 1mm of the black nearest the windshield exposed. A bit of flat clear brushed on the black as a final touch will leave a scale width for the brightwork and a convincing rubber gasket to boot. I paint the black before clear because the bmf looks best over a polished surface.

Beautiful job!!

:iagree:

ACOJONANTE (in spanish means stunning-impresive-fabulous at the same time).

Looks fantastic, the colour really suits it

This is certainly a masterpiece my friend, from the paint, to the cleanliness and even the panel lines which a lot of people leave out. Definitely the best Miura I have ever seen built!

A piece of art...
Bravo!!!

Very pretty work...Good job!

Beautiful work. Well done. The Shah of Iran had a Miura in a similar hue and I wondered if you were modelling that example.

wow. stunning work!

Congrats !

It is superb . You mentioned Pontiac Bristol Blue color , what brand of paint did you use. And if I understand correctly, you then spray the clear coat with tamiya clear.

Thanks in advance
George

I don't even know who the shah of Iran is so, no, it was not built simulating his. Thank you anyway!!

GeorgeI used Scalefinishes enamel paint and yes, I finished off with Tamiya clear. Thanks!!:grinyes:

What a beauty! I love this colour for the Miura (the same or similar to that for the Shah of Iran).
