Murcielago 40th Anniversary

Hey guys

Here is another of my builds that I have going on,
Truth is I got the colour from Zero & just had to see what it looked like painted, so out the box came & thats why my F50 hasnt been going very far...

Anyway.. Kit is Fujimis average Murcielago kit with Photoetched parts ( the PE set is done by KA models), Its a damn good kit, it has its issues but should build up nicely.
The main inaccuracery is the windows, fujimi has molded "rubber" seals around the glass, this isnt correct, the glass goes all the way to the edge & sits flush with the A pillar & roof line bodywork, So Ive changed this & am pretty happy with the result.
Let the Photos do the Talking...

Inspiration


All of the vent areas are molded closed - so I opened them




New recessed window frame with mounts for mirrors




This is the PE set produced by KA Models - includes all the mesh, Brakes, wiper, interior stuff & even an iPod & cell phone!!!


This is the amazing colour


& in the sun


Ground coat is a nice solid mint colour - looks abit weird on a Lambo..




I wanted body colour brakes


First light coat of base coat


Finished base coat - I think I applied 3 light coats of this colour as per directions. Very hard to photograph but is very beautiful in person


The weather then turned to crap for ages so no good shots until now, Thanks Spring!!


Adding the false carbon fibre to sides - I'm using SMS's amazing Clear CF decal before I clear coat it with 2K clear


Working on th PE stuff


Doors are not strickly accurate but changing them required changing 80% of the interior.


Exhaust - Alcad chrome


I bend up all the mesh before painting to avoid craking the paint. very crisp & sharp




Exhaust shield - very difficult to bend


Thats all for now, I'm working on getting her ready for clearcoat this weekend.
Thanks for looking, let me know what you think!!
Ash
