Lamborghini Murcielago Fujimi 1/24th

[rx7king]

Hey everyone finally I have a completed project to share. It is Fujimi's Murcielago as the title states. I used the KA Models Photo Etch Detail set which I thought was pretty good (wish I had better reference pics). For paint I used Zero Paints color matched Arancio Atlas Pearl with Zero 2k clear. This is the first model I have built with intentions of using an airbrush for the who kit. This ended when I couldnt get Zero primer to stick to the plastic so I went with Tamiya surface primer and airbrushed everything else. Not perfect but I learned a lot which I hope to apply to next build which is my Aventador double build w Carlos (cjbosox). on to the pics:

Started with Zero McLaren Test Orange which ended in disaster which in the end was a blessing because the paint I went w is much more authentic and orange, which was the intention:



Ruined during final wet coat:



new color match prior to clear:

























Sorry for so many pics, been awhile since I have last posted a finished project. Thanks for looking and thanks for any comments in advance.

So the beast is finally out!! Nice work Justin. What you went through can only help on the next kit. And don't worry, one can never post enough pics as you can tell by my posts Now get that desk ready so we can get cooking...

Nice work! I really like the Murcielago, it could be the most beautiful Lamborghini ever.

It looks great! I hope you enjoyed building this kit as much as I enjoyed building my Murcielago

Thanks everyone, Emilssi Its weird how how similar ours look!! you did a great job on yours, probably a shinier finish and cleaner assembly. would be cool to see me next to each other

Nice to see you building again!! How long has it been? Beautiful lambo. IMO taking pics outside would be nicer.

Thanks! I will try to get outdoor pics on a weekend when its nice out and i have time. I finished a fujimi F430 a little over a year ago, then worked on fixing my enzo I built about 6 years ago for few months (In avatar) and then this took me about 6 or so months. but since I have posted a finished build here has been years! I haven't had an okay camera to take decent pictures until recently when I bought my GF one for her xmas . I hope to be able to build/post more going now.

Nice Work!! The colour & Finish looks great!!! I loved building the Murc kit too (So much that i'm building the roadster version now) but there are some issues with the kit. The KA PE set is great except the rear brake disks didnt fit properly on mine.
But again, youve done a great job & cant wait to see your Aventador!!!
