Making of Lamborghini Murcielago

Hi,
I'm living in Japan so I can get this kit faster and easier than most of you. :smile:
This time, explain the detail of process before painting.

*First, this pic has taken after sanding.

*Scoop on side skirt
mesh decal is included in the kit but I'll use Hasegawa's mesh for it.
so cut it off.

sanded thick scoop covers.

*Side mirrors
side mirror part is molded with a plate but it stands out from body.

therefor I cut plate area off, drilled and put wire in it.

*Bury licence plate holes.
put heat stretched parts-tree plastic in the holes.

then cut them off and put quick-drying glue on it, then sand.

*Applied pink primer.
I redrew some panel lines.(purple circle area)

*Body paint
painted mixed metallic russet.
it looks a little unique color for Murcie, I wonder some of you wouldn't like it. :rolleyes:

YOU'VE GOT IT ALREADY? ? ?OMG....my eyes will stick to this thread for now ! ! ! how about the undercarriage kunta ? i believe lowering is required in order to have the aggressive looks... :icon16: feelings for migration....haha

this is going to be a great build :eek:

Wow, those are some really nice stuff. i like the things you've fixed. The color is really nice, red ofcourse. :iceslolan The body looks nice.

paint looks outstanding

can't wait to see the end result!!!!

oh, the first murcielago :worshippy

i like the colour, keep it up :naughty:

OMG~!
you have got the first CGT and then the first Murcielago in this forum~!
great kunta, the master~!

WOW!

simply sublime progress on a what it seems very well proportionate car !

Nice to see the model lets you build the aeration vents open or closed!


Olivier

This ones gonna be great.

great! keep it up!

Great stuff Kunta, this is gonna be worth waiting for !!!

Mike :smokin:

I want that model too!!! Great work so far. Keep us posted, this one is gonna be really interesting :D

Kunta has elfs sneaking out pre release models for him I guess :) You are quick! I just managed to get my CgT.

Excelent start, but you are right I didnt like the color :lol2: Sorry I just love Lambos in yellow, orange and black :)

But that is a very interesting color and I am not familiar with the brand.

I can't believe :evillol: You are realy fast ! ! !

"Few days ago" I have seen your Porsche GT, and now -> this Lamborghini. You are GREAT . You could used little bit darknes red. I'm waiting for next pictures of this super car.

I love it... Your model is going to look great as always.

sweet im gonna gonna have to get me one of those

You really know how to keep impressing us Kunta! The lambo looks really good, and I for onle like the red.

Where do you get pink primer?

Holy cow... how much I Ill send you money so I can get one..

so overal, with some work, you can do something that actually look good with it..

there's 1 part i just feel strange...why won't you just use putty to cover up the license plate holes ? save money ?

Where do you get pink primer?
I mixed 'Mr.base white 1000' with red.

no, save the time. :wink:

Nice man, love that colour, can't wait to see more progress.

Pure excellence! Is this kit curbside?

Man, I can't wait to see how well this one turns out!!:sunglasse Hopefully mine should be here any day now...

Looks great so far. :)

That's a great way to fill the license plate holes. And quick too, as you said.

I can't wait for mine to arrive.

Wow, supercar from supermodeller, what more can you could ask for. :smokin:

WOW Kunta, it looks very promising. Cant wait to see the first Murcielago done in AF.

Yeah that is going to be awesome!! Can't wait to see this one completed!!!!!!!

Kunta Koolness (sorry Tonio !)

Wow Eeeee Cheeee Bannnn!!!!

Thanks everyone. :smile:

Pure excellence! Is this kit curbside?

yes, this kit has only upper part of engine.

I like the color. Keep going on it.
The only thing I dont like about this car is the lower side scoops. They stick out way too far. Think I'll do something different there on mine. What is your impression of the kit wheels? Do they suit the model, or should we buy Maisto diecast kits to rob the wheels out of them?

Man! my favorite car being made by my favorite modeler!
What kind of kit is this Osamu? By the looks of it, it's a fujimi kit. Going by that you had to re-scribe some panel lines.

This is grwat Kunta, your pait jobs always amaze me and I am glad you shared at least some steps of the process. You should make a video of it and sell it (you could make real money out of it). Red is perfect but not for Lambo (sorry), but then again with right interior colour it could pass, we will see (can't wait).

Here's a pic of stock wheel.
it looks pretty good. but I'll use another wheels.

Hey kunta, by placing heat stretched parts-tree plastic in the holes, how do you fill it?

The plastic spru will stuck into the hole with cement, after dry, cut it and sand it. Save alot time by using this way. :biggrin:

This car is sweet and kunta will make it stunt :sunglasse .

Hey kunta hopefully this isn't the end result, just j/k the lambo looks awesome as usual, keep us posted!!

First the Porshe Carrera Gt, now the Lambo Murcielago, dude your friggin monster. Great work !

Update pics. :smile:
assembled interior. painted light tan/black.

Very impressive interior.

Looks good, albeit a bit simplified interior.... Looks like the seats aren't prototypically correct though.
Are the gauges decal? is there a decal for the steering wheel?

yes, put gauge decal on it. and Murcie hasn't chromed emblem on steering wheel.

Great so far! The exterior and the interior are superclean as expected. The color is amazing, too, I think people need to break out of their "This car must be THIS color!" mindset. It's just gorgeous and well suited in my opinion. Cars like this are just made for these thick, beautiful colors that draw attention to every facet. Great choice! And thanks for sharing your prep work, though I'm amazed how many people were taken aback by you hole-filling technique.

Looking good, looking good!!!! Can not wait to see it finished!!!!!!!

Man, can't wait to see the end result!!

Love what you've done so far. Can't wait to see it finished. What wheels are you going to use?

Marc

Super clean build as always!!

My Murcie is winging it's to me from HLJ. God, I wish I lived in Japan.

HI, Kunta

You are making an impressive work with this lambo.

what qualification would give to this kit comparing it with the quality of the tamiya carrera gt?

Tamiya vs Fujimi ??

Tamiya Carrera GT has engine. Fujimi's interior mold is certainly inferior to Tamiya's mold. that is huge dissatisfied point to me.

Not my usual cup of tea but I'd like to see the final result asap.

Tan/Black, very good combo, stylish, will have to use it once :)

Well said!!

Nice!!

Osamu, you know who's the man !

Keep it up, man :evillol:

As for the model, you made me want it Badly!

Olivier

I love your work. They are too good.
