*World Debut* Lambo Gallardo GT1

This is Fujimi's Gallardo kit which I converted to a phantom GT1 racer.

I began by molding on the fender flares from the UT Models Calibra DTM kit. The roll bar is modified from that kit as well. The wing from Revell's Corvette C5R is held up by scratchbuilt arms. The rims are from a rare Rosso Testarossa kit, the brakes are stock Gallardo with brembo decals. The diffuser is from a Ferrari F430 and the splitter is from a Porsche GT1 I think as well as the side window vents.

The engine scoop was scratchbuilt using a seat back and a F1 engine scoop. Decals are from various sheets but mainly Tamiya's Alfa DTM...which were very brittle and horrible to work with. I kept the interior simple only adding a race seat, roll cage and a electronic engine control box. Nylon screen was installed in front and rear grilles.

The paint is Tamiya TS-26 White on the body and Telefonica Blue on the rims, wing, mirrors, scoop etc. Interior is Acryl Aircraft Interior Black.
