Making of Lamborghini Gallardo

Hi,
Started Fujimi's Gallardo from this weekend.
basically body mold is fine, engine bay looks just same as Murcie.
front/rear meshes are clear parts, also like Murcie. interior and wheels looks fine.
but I'll put 5 spoke 19" wheel on it.

Filled front license plate holes and fixed few thined plastic areas.
refined some body shapes and added panel lines.

Thanks for looking! :smile:

I hate you! I love you!

oh, go and hide, tiger, and model !

Oli

Some how I knew you would be the first to build one on here. And it looks fantastic so far.....

lookin good.

great start, wondering what the final result will be like.

Oh my god I absolutley love the Gallardo, looks so much better than the Murciélago IMO. I´m sure you´ll make another masterpiece out of this one!

First Gallardo being built here:) by you! :) I can't wait to see it built! The colour is great for this car.

Ahh Ooooo so nice, Love black...

look's perfect on black, interior is nice too

Kunta Perfection C:sunglasse:sunglasselness!!

Excellent start Osamu!

Woo-hoo! The very first Gallardo by the master of clean building! I'm so glad you got this model first, kunta, so we can all aspire to your levels of perfection with our builds. :thumbsup:

Hey,

You always seem to be the 1st to build a new kit. lol Good luck with this. Can't wait to see it finnished:-D

Frank X.

I guess exotic cars look better black.

As always, Osamu is first on the scene. :) You have my undivided attention. Looks stunning in black.
What kind of primer do you use under the Finisher's paints.

Do the original wheels really work out great on the chassis or do you have to make adjustmenst as rallyraider needed to make on his murcie? Just wondering! Apart from that... exceptional work, once again!

Outstanding work as always :smokin:
Black is a great color for this car.

He he, Kunta strikes again, great job as alway, please show us some bad kits you did to boost our moral :D.
Can't wait to see it on wheels.

What kind of primer do you use under the Finisher's paints.
I'm always using 'Mr.surfacer 1000' for primer.

Do the original wheels really work out great on the chassis or do you have to make adjustmenst as rallyraider needed to make on his murcie?
I don't assemble chassis and suspension section yet, but figure out soon. :wink:

another master peace :D

Looking Very Nice!!! can't wait to see more!!

Hey Kunta,

Which version are you using for this car? Does it come with the parts to make the automatic "egear" version? See pic:

From the pic shown above, the manual gear version has all the necessary parts for the egar version, but not the glass engine compartment version.

Awesome built, cant wait to see more progress pics.

Hey,

Thanks tiregiant. I was also wondering if it has the paddle shifters for behind the steering wheel, if not, prolly won't be that hard to make.
Thanks,
Frank X.

No problem, Frank. Oh the paddles are already available from the "manual gear" version kit. The paddles are attached to the steering wheel housing.

That's the color I'm going to paint mine as well, Rosso Metis. If you're using Testors, Honduras Maroon is a nearly identical match...if it matches an original color chip that I have....since I'm going to paint a GM car that should be Honduras Maroon in Rosso Metis (hey, you can paint three cars w/one bottle of Cobra Colors!).

Hey,

Yeah ZoomZoom. That's the color I'll be using. C'mon Kunta! I'm itching to see how it's going together! lol. I bet it's great.

Frank X.

I want someone help me to ship cobra colours to Toronto, Canada. :(

Hi KUNTA, more progress??

Excellent Job, as usual from you.
I'm just waiting to see more of your work!

Congratulations!

Wow, nice!

i fall in love with your brake disc again~~!!
very nice!
but i am wondering if the weathering is a bit out of balance between the two sides?

^ maybe the owner does a lot of handbrakies?

does this kit have a driveshaft for the front wheels?, i see one for the back, but not the front, and as far as i know Gallardo's are 4WD.

Yes, there is a front driveshaft in the kit-I was working on my Gallardo's suspension last night.

Hey Kunta, EMERGENCY.....wrong rear brake kit on wrong side. :D Thanks for the update. :smile:

Oh, no. :banghead: thanks! I'll fix it.
Why I make such a silly mistake sometime... :newburn:

are those Stock brakes ?

seem to be too good for Fujimi

Yes, they're stock and very nice. I painted my calipers yellow w/black Lamborghini emblems. (I'm not posting progress, I'll take pics when it's done, except for custom rims it's very similar to Kunta's except for colors).

It's a better kit than most other Fujimis, everything on the chassis/interior has seemingly fit perfect.

One reason the wheels seem to fit precisely is the suspension is simplified, I didn't realize until after it was all together that there are no springs or shocks to deal with, only the upper/lower A arms, hubs, brakes, and rims. The axles are part of the lower engine piece which is well engraved.

The Mini Cooper S is also much better than standard Fujimi fare. Maybe they're listening? :icon16:
