Lamborghini Miura SV (Hasegawa)
Been a while since I posted anything.
Unfortunately, I can't say that the pandemic was a very productive time for me. I felt like it should have been. It was potentially a good opportunity, if nothing else. But I didn't get much traction. I know people who cleared out their closets and organized their lives- or at least so they told me. But I did pull Hasegawa's Miura kit off of my shelf. I felt like I would benefit from a straightforward out of the box build. I even had a great bottle of paint for the body- anybody remember CobraColors?! So this is one of the few builds that I did manage. And mostly, the kit was a freakin' great OOB!- except where it wasn't. Which really was my own fault- it can be helpful to read the instructions and plan a build before just tearing into it. But it all still came out pretty good.  All out of the box here. I added foil and flocking. What a beautiful example of a 70's supercar interior!   Hasegawa included some photoetched details for the cockpit- mostly chrome bezel rings to go around air vents and such. They turn out to be a good match for all the BMF trim work that the Miura needs.  Paint is Model Master Acryl insignia blue- a nice vibrant tone. It seems that Model Master died an unfortunate death during the pandemic.  It certainly did nothing to help my mood. But I'm moving on. Lately, I really like Tamiya's new line of bottled lacquers. I think I'm going to be OK!   Thanks for looking, more soon.

Re: Lamborghini Miura SV (Hasegawa)
That's a fabulous looking interior tub. I usually don't think flocking is very convincing, but yours looks spot on. You're helped by the time period's carpeting, but you've also applied it really skillfully and it looks great! Also, what a color!
 Also - I miss Cobra Colors so much. His paints were confidence in a jar, so so good and easy to use.
