Fujimi murcielago

Hi,

anybody has news about new fujimi murcielago. Pictures, info.....

tamiya carrera gt, pictures on tamiya web page has very poor quality.
the model looks like a beginner work.

regards

You're surely not the only one waiting for the new Fujimi Murcielago! But sorry, no info....
I have to say I disagree with you concerning the Carrera GT: the pics avaible on the Tamiya site just show a prototyp, unpainted, and glued together to test fit, and tease!... and it already looks far better than many other company's kits! And the chassis sprue is as impressive as the Enzo one! The real car is a better piece of the art than the Enzo, the Tamiya kit will be the same! :D

Compared to this excellence, I wonder how the Murci will look like!... But if it has an engine, or openable doors, I'll forgive any shortcoming! :lol:
I hope the front and rear grids will be rendered well! That's quite a challenge for a manufacturer, I feel.

do you know how put an little image below of username ?

Adding an avatar! Just clic on User CP (top right of the screen, under the AF 350Z project car), then on the new page opened, click on avatar, then give the url of the pic (100/100 pixels max) you want to use. Easy.
It's the same if you want to add a text, or a banner (like mine) under your posts: clic then on signature.

You're surely not the only one waiting for the new Fujimi Murcielago!

I have them both on preorder from HLJ and am getting rather impatient!

Nice avatar choice, Jaimenew! :lol:

Sup Jaimenew, I only have two finished Lambo's, this will be my third one (Murcielago) to do ever. The following pictures are of the fujimi 1/16 I did that didn't exactly come out like I expected. There were alot of fit problems so I am hoping the 1/24 scale won't have them like the 1/16 did. I probably will never buy another big scale from fujimi. I am currently working on a Tamiya 1/12 William Renault to which I will say the fit, detail, kit in itself if fantastic.

If you want see my gallery model click on Gallery shortcut, my collection is of 1/24 scale, only 2 1/18 and are lamborghini´s

how many models do you have nervestrikes ?

You have done alot of good looking work man. I haven't done to much, a few here and there. I used to have a 70 car collection of 1/18 scale diecast, but I sold them to get started in plastic car modeling. Do a search on my name for all the threads I started so you can see some of my work. I am still up and coming, unlike most of these guys here who are phenominal.

He's lying, he's an awesome builder!:sunglasse

somebody knows something about fujimi lambo murcielago ???

Debut reported to 18/08/2004 (see: http://www.fujimimokei.com/newitem.html)...

Let's say they'll realease it before January 2005! :D

Thanks for the encouragement Tonio Seven.

Jamienew, the only people who know about the murcielago are the fujimi people cause I can't even find any pics of what the kit might look like. Sometimes I hate fujimi then other times I only dislike them.

I put up a page on my site last week with some basic info on the Murcielago. Despite the announced July 2004 release it's probably going to be out late this year. Here's the link:

http://www.cobracolors.com/lambomodels.htm

It was pushed off till August 18th, but then again, it was delayed until September.

:rofl: Man this is the first I've heard of a newer Murcielago kit from any plastic model maker. I've been waiting for such news for far too long. BUT I'M HAPPY NOW!!! All I can say is that I hope it is worth the long wait. I just don't understand why no one has kitted this car in plastic yet. I thought Tamiya would be all over it when the new Lambo came out. Does anyone know if it will have engine detail? Mid engined curbside kits kinda suck because the engine is quite visible from below on most mid-engined cars. Drives me nuts. :banghead:

Hi,

Fujimi already release some images of new model Lamborghini murcielago. New release date is 9/1.

You can go to Fujimi WEB in order to view these picts.

http://www.fujimimokei.com

does anyone know how to paste images in this reply?

regards.

Can't wait for mine to arrive! :sunglasse

I've been so depressed ever since July 16 when it was supposed to be released.. :icon16: :lol:

Looks decent, of course like any Fujimi kit the wheels/tires look like they need some work for the car to sit right. Hope Cobra Colors comes through w/paint soon! Mine has to be that pistachio green pearl color.

http://www.fujimimokei.com/prod_syosai/murcielago.html

will need to wait, but it look like a toy... semi-curbside too.

:evillol: It's his opinion... got to respect that !! :evillol: And I kind of agree with it !

I maybe don't have this kit but here's what I think of Fuj: Poor fitting, ugly wheels and the stance of a 4X4 truck ! Ok, Kunta or other make it look good but I'm not... not with my skills ! :banghead: I'm such a :loser:

^Oh just chill out :disappoin !! If you have a problem with him, please take it to the PM feature. Thanks. I have a Murcielago ordered and can only pray that Fujimi doesn't screw it up.

Nice news! The kit looks more than decent: the shape looks accurate, the wheels look the right size, and it doesn't need lowering. ++: the rear radiator flaps seem to be able to be displayed in "high" position with a little work...
The only question is about the intake and outake grids: in reality they're quite thin, like the Carrera GT hood ones, and I hope Fujimi didn't choose to omit them... It seems they're represented by clear parts (look at the sprues). I wonder why...
At first look I would give it a 7/10... :D

And the always-insatisfied-modelers-club says: can we hope now racing versions, and the magnificent roadster?... :lol:

Please make the race version with the dropped stance and ground air defussers....please then I will leave the bad comments about fujimi alone for ...ummm a while!

Doesn't look too bad at all, get some fat 19"s on it and it will look sweet.

It looks very nice. Sigh :banghead: I am currently run out of cash...needs to wait until the early of 2005......who can donate some money to me?

:lol: Same here! Sorry!
That's common not to have enough money to own a Lamborghini, but it's so sad to even not being able to afford the model...
Fortunately, I'll have time to save some cash till it comes to France, I hope... :D (the first 917 kits only came last month... so the Lambo should be avaible here in december...)

According to Hobby Search, this is now in stock.

Looks like it should build OK to me, just need to find a source for Lambo colors here in the UK!

I just looked at the detail pictures on the Fujimi website. The wheels look awful! I deeply hope its a pre production picture. The wheels merely fit into the chassis, way to small. We´ll see, whether Fujimi is up to produce a real raging bull!

Fujimi praticly always make horrible wheels. You shouldn't look for that, you need aftermarket wheels for sure. (nice 19" would look insane :D)

I'm not sure I agree...

Looking at the pics doesn't permit to say if they're good or not. Maybe they're just a little too small, but that's maybe because they're not oversized, as the Tamiya ones. Chromed brakes may be good for beginners. Overall this kit looks so nice!
Here's a similar shot of the real one for comparison.
http://www.hohpe.com/Gregor/Events/Concorso2002/murcielago.jpg

But sure 19' would look killer! :iceslolan

I don´t know, whether to agree or to oppose. But, honestly, the wheels look lost in that chassis. Putting the real one next to the kit, shows you how much the wheels look outta place.
But again, hopefully the preview kit doesn´t look like the ones in production, but one the other side... the Lamborghini Diablo kitsgot killed by the wheels as well. Let´s go aftermarket....

Fujimi praticly always make horrible wheels. You shouldn't look for that, you need aftermarket wheels for sure. (nice 19" would look insane :D)

I'm with Vric. Though some of Fujimi's newer wheels are becoming more accurate, but the problem that still plagues most of them is the width. They are way too narrow. While that can be overlooked on some cars, the 18"x13" rears of the Murcielago have to be authentic to keep the overall aggressive appearance of the car.

Hard to tell from the small pics, while the overall wheel design looks accurate, it looks like the tire profile is a bit too big. They don't like like 30/35 series tires. Nor do the rears look to be 13" wide.

Mixed feelings on this kit. Hopefully someone will post a review on the kit since it's now released. Quell all our doubts.

I'm gonna throw some 19" on mine anyway. I'm grateful to have it as a plastic kit instead of a diecast. :smile:

Btw, Hobbylink still list it as in Stock. so It look like it's released (or they are damn slow to correct the error)

What colors would everyone like to see available for this subject? Despite the extra cost and work involved two tri-coat finishes, Arancio Atlas Pearl and Giallo Orion Pearl, will definitely be available. What else?

Translations please?!

I want the nuclear-pistachio pearl green color, whatever it's called. I saw the Miura metallic green yesterday (Miura painted by Bob Holfels), looked great. I just got three bottles of your paint this weekend from another order by another friend (Wayne Webers). Nice stuff! I look forward to using it.

The Murcielago anniversary teal color would be nice as well; would look interesting on a Miura...

Arancio Atlas is the bright orange pearl and Giallo Orion is the bright yellow pearl, both commonly photographed colors along with the nuclear lime green Verde Ithaca Pearl. Those are all definite additions. I need to track down the formula for the anniversary edition finish.

Thanks for the comments on the paint!

^I want to do mine with a weird non-factory color so expect another order from me as soon as my kit arrives!!

Giallo Orion is the most blingy yellow I've ever seen!

Turns to bright gold when in direct sunlight.

Is Arancio Atlas Pearl the orange color on the car in Labandabonnet's post?

Yes, it is. The car next to it is Giallo Orion, and the pic linked here is Verde Ithaca Pearl.

Hobby Search has changed their Murcie status back to Reserve.

Fujimi changed their pics a little, as you can see...

Oh well, Vric, you're right! F*ck those wheels! I hope some aftermarket maker will produce some cheap-&-easy-to-find set of accurate sized wheels for it! I just like the look of the prod ones, and don't want a tunning look for such a nice Lambo! :D
As everything else looks ok on this kit, I'm still happy it finally comes!

I hope the wheels can be sorted out, either by Fujimi or affordable aftermarket. Because this is one street car I'd love to build.

That is correct, lambo murcielago is the most beatiful car in the world.

Anyone knows what´s the difference between fujimi´s lambo murcielago and lambo murcielago 40th edt.?

Probably the wheel finish and perhaps the colour of the plastic the body is made of. Maybe cf-ish decals (which in Fujimi's case most likely means just semigloss black decals). There shouldn't be many, and, on a personal level, the 40th ann. edition colour is the leat of my favourite Murcie colours.

And you're wrong, the title of the most beautiful car in the world is shared between 250 SWB and Miura :p

Sadly, I Have to agree with what alex says!
That 40th edition colour is the nicest ever!

And for the rims, I think I found out a very cheap source for aftermarket ones - The maisto diecast kit comes with two pair of rims, both stocks, in 24th scale, there still is hope!

Olivier

The kit is shipping now!

I think Ales said that it was his least favorite color on the Murcie; I would agree w/that statement...it's a gorgeous color, but I've seen the 1:1 color combo and it simply doesn't look right to me on this car. It needs to be a loud color like yellow/orange/lime green or in a simple color like black, white, or shades of silver/gray.

I agree about the Maisto diecast option, I've had that kit for a long time and have always thought this might happen...they're the correct size for the Maisto model, so they might be just what this kit needs...tho I think the photos of the Fujimi model show that careful placement of the wheels inside the body (correcting the front track and lowering the ride height in the rear) might work as well.

I'll know soon enough...mine's been shipped. :)

Sorry, but what about the 1984 Ferrari 288 GTO??? That´s a real beauty as well, but I agree on your most beautiful car choices.

Another problem with the kit is that there´s no engine. Can you imagine a Lamborghini without an engine. So we all have to wait for an aftermarket production of the engine as it happened with the 917K. But to be honest, I think it´s a shame to produce curbside kits of cars, which actually would only be half amazing without their engine (Ferrari, Lamborghini, etc.) So maybe Fujimi should think about giving their Enthusiast Series another shot. Those models were really accurate and had nice engine detail!!!

I´m really excited about the outcome of the Lambo, so I look really forward to the first finished Murcielago on automotiveforums.com.

Anyone knows any model store in EEUU where FUJIMI murcielago is on sale ?

My Lambo has just been shipped from HLJ after months of waiting :biggrin:

I'm sure it's only avaible in japan for now... The rest of the world will have to wait the end of the year! :D Or ask HLJ...

OK,

labandabonnot, what proyect do you have actually ?

:lol: Too many! I'd rather concentrate on one... and finish it!
And I'm going to start the Cunningham Jaguar E type! :D (see my sig)

Lamborghini murcielago 40TH ANNIVERSARY MODEL
is available on HLJ, 1999 and Hobbyworld.

The plastic color looks great,

If I apply a Tamiya clear coat on this model it will looks good ?
