1/24 Lamborghini Murcielago

I am in a model-building frenzy, as I keep churning completed projects right after the other This one actually was just sitting in my bin, in which I decided to a quick OOB for the upcoming SLC IPMS.

The kit is Fujimi Murcielago (got it from Squadron for 10.99 ). I painted it with 3 coats of TS-12, followed by 2 coats of TS-65 Pearl Clear, and finally 3 coats of TS-13. I used Tamiya Coarse for polish, and then modelling wax.

I got some spare wheels from Aoshima, so I used that instead, might have to change that into stockers (the wheels are TS-30 and then TS-13)

If there is one thing that I would like to change, it's the CF decal, but then again this is OOB.

The shifter is dipped in Metallizer, and the interior is shot with TS-29 and Flat Clear.




Now getting back to the Jag for sure. Thank you for looking!

Re: 1/24 Lamborghini Murcielago

Nice finish on this baby and the color is best for that kind of Lamborghini. Those wheels look great. Never thought luxury car wheels would look good on an exotic. How long did it take you to build this kit? I have one and it has many parts and the factory wheels seem a bit small in scale with the rest of the kit.

She is nice, this orange is one of the best colors for a Lambo, very nice build. As for the rims, keep them, they look hot IMO.

Beautiful build. Very clean. I too like the color as well as the wheels. I would keep them on.

Thank you for the comments everyone,

The kit went together nicely, almost like Tamiya. My only complaint was just that fake-looking CF decals.

I finished this in about 20 hours with no drama whatsoever (almost the first time in my model building career).
