One kit, Provence Moulage in 1/43rd scale . . .

Here's mine listed in the lambo meet . . .

MAN! $300+ for the F50GT . . . :22yikes:

Best be diggin' out the F50 kits from storage if I want that one!

Love the Murcie Roadster as is....the 430 however I don't... so I'll use it as a base for something hopefully more interesting like I did the 612.

...That link to the scratchbuilt Gallardo... wow, that is some intense scratchbuilding and a desire to make a model. If I had the determination to do something by myself to this degree, i'd already earn a Phd. and contribute something useful back to society. arrgh.

This is one of those moments I froze and spewed hot tea while checking up a great link. I can't remember if I froze then spewed, or spewed then froze realizing that my keyboard will never be the same.

Happy modeling,
Vincent

That certainly looks like it could be the origination of the Fujimi kit.

I think all models are limited production. They are not going to be molding that kit forever, they could limit it to a million copies and it would still be limited production. As far as I'm concerned that means nothing.

Hate to say it, but a Murcielago Spyder is going to sell a lot better overall than the more esoteric Lambos. Sure, I want them too but I also want the model companies to turn a decent profit The rims are sublime.

I never really liked the Espada; always looked a bit fragile-the same glassback styling looked better on the Maserati Khamsin. I guess a model that had parts flying off of it would be quite a replica Now the 350/400 GT I'd go for in a heartbeat. LM 002 kits have been made, though I don't know about scale or detail. It's a truck anyway

I like your thinking Bob, but my fear is that a Tamiya 360 will need to be "merged" with the Fujimi 430 to make it right.

Can anyone post the manual for the 430 if it comes out? For a project

A bit OT, but since the F50GT was mentioned....

MSMCreation is working on F50GT Transkit:

Wheels look too small, in my opinion.

The scratch building talent some people exhibit disgusts me!

Take a look at this guy's page! Nearly everything he builds is scratch built or modified so much it constitutes scratch built . . .

Like to get my grubby lil' hands on that Canto . . .

The F430 look like a toy

Fujimi doesn't make any resin kit. They just distribute someone else's (most likely Baracca's).

As for the F430, they didn't learn from the mistakes in Murcielago and 550, the windows look pushed in. Another cutting and sanding job...
But the engine looks descent, and you can't really see much if the hatch is shut, so I think it'll be okay.
