Progress: Hasegawa Lamborghini Miura SV

Need to have this car done by November so I went ahead and prepped it for primer while I had some mixed up for the Shelby One.

In 1972 two Miura's were painted in 'Black Violet' so I picked up a bottle of House of Kolor 'Violette Pearl' replicate it.

As you can see the body has a few slight sink marks that need to be filled. There are also sink marks on each side of the tail sides that run along the rear edge of the rear fenders that I sanded out.

A light coat of primer to check work.

may I be the first one to say that I m openly looking forward to seeing this one finished, the colour looks spot on for a nice and slutty ;-) look !

Oli

Knew it wouldn't be long before you started on this. Looking forward to more.

holy cheese and crackers thats awesome

That is a lot of sink holes to fill. Beautiful car, I know you will do it justice.

The body is a very thin casting, maybe too thin.

That color is nice.
Looking forward to see more on this one.

cool~so many people are making this project.
I love this car,I 'm sure ur finished car must be awesome!keep up progress man!

:naughty: I'll follow this thread passionately, it will help me waiting, as it seems Hasegawa hasn't planned to export this kit in France in the very next future*!... (there even wasn't a stand to present themselves at the Paris show that's taking place this week!) :banghead: Coming from you, I expect nothing but a masterpiece! :smokin:


(*: disapointment: the Tamiya Calsonic Skyline is still unavaible too! Is there an embargo on french modelers? :crying:)

That is definately the prettiest color on this car.

I can't wait to get this car in hand and start it too.
:)

Yeah that car looks cool, looking forward to seeing it complete. Looks good so far. KILLER KOLOR!!!!!!!!

Greatness is soon to follow!!!:sunglasse

Side scoops glued on and molded in. Final coats of Dupont Variprime and sanded.

Man, you frickin' read my mind! I've been setting aside a bit of cash for one huge order of stuffs from HLJ which will include a Hasegawa Miura and I was thinking to myself "I should build it up like one of those really rare purple ones."

You beat me to it, so you'd better do one helluva job. :p :biggrin:

man, this is sooo nice and has the opportunity to be a true replica 1:1 :) I am really looking forward to this progress thread

Here it has 4 coats of House of Kolor Violette Pearl.

Next I have to mask the body to spray on the metallic silver on the bottom side panels.

:eek::sunglasse:eek::smokin::eek::naughty: (same for me!)

WoW ! I love this color !! HOK is just plain awersome.. I wish I would have acces to it.

Hey Veyron, you should get some money from hlj. Because of your Build I just ordered myself a miura SV from Hasegawa from hlj, too. Nice build and nice color. How is the detail on the kit? Are any doors or hoods to be opened? How is the engine detail?

Keep up the great work!

Be You Tee Ful!


keep up the phenomenal work, dawg

Oli :)

Veyron, my dad just asked me what was the color of your Pegeot in your sing.. ?

Might be the reflect of the MR-S near it that give it a strange good looking color

thanks for answer.

Btw, Where do you get your HOK paint ? I might rebuy a new airbrush (mine is dead) and would consider HOK paint

Yeah, the MR-S is giving the Pogo a rose tint.

Here's a link for a HoK supplier:

I'm pretty sure they do not ship outside of the US.

Awesome Colour!!!!!!!

Does anybody happen to know where to find out in which colors the miura SV was produced? I need to know because of my color choice for my miura SV build.

While not complete, they do have some listed.
lambo Registry (http://www.lamborghiniregistry.com/intro.html)

Amazing stuff and it's only just started :)

awesome i really like the color :)

The registry for the Miura SV has all the colors listed.

I started mine tonight and it will be orange. I hope it turns out half as good as Veyrons.

What a great looking color.

Got the Finisher's Fine Silver sprayed on the lower panel and three coats of Tamiya clear. The clear didn't lay down as smooth as it usually does so polishing will take a little longer. :rolleyes:
