Progress-Lambo Miura & Ferrari Stradale Spider

[CADguy]

Here are 2 cars I've been toying with for some time now.

Going to the 360 Challenge race this past weekend with Veyron has given me the system shock I needed get out of my slump and build. There were so many cool cars there it wasn't funny.

I've taken the SAS Stradale transkit and fitted it to the 360 Spider kit. I'm hoping it gives it a more "tuned" and agressive look. The Challenge wheels and wing definately help.
Plans for this car are dark metallic blue paint with the Stradale stripe.

The Mirua is going to be a box stock build. My plans are bright orange like in my avatar, but with aluminum kickpanels and wheels. I'm not a big fan of gold trim or wheels on cars.

Here's some pics. Comments welcome.

lookin' good!
Is that the Fujimi Lambo? and where did the Spyder's wing come from?

Funny thing... I was putting a car together last night with "Fun Tack" (blue stuff) too. I've had some on my bench forever, but had forgotten how useful it can be.

Sharing the same taste about the Miura, can't wait to see it done!
How "trucky" the Ferrari looks compared to this beauty!

Thanks.

Blue tack is awesome stuff. I don't think I could build without it.

The Lamborghini Miura is the new Hasegawa kit.. Nicely detailed kit. My only complaint would be the various louvers. They molded them strangely. And they are pretty thick and out of scale. The body seems nice and pretty accurate in its proportions and details. Engine detail is not full detail, but not curbside either.

The wing came off of the Tamiya Mistubishi GTO kit. I know it's not too functional or necessary on the spider, but it makes it different.
It fits the curves of the 360 quite well. It resembles the Koenigseder version a little.

That Ferarri looks sinister. I think the Stradale treatment is just perfect. The Muira will be cool too, I love orange cars. Don't really know why, but I do.

If you want a tuned looking Ferarri, have you considered putting a vent in the hood (is the radiator up front on the car? If not, forget it...). Venting the hood, and if you painted it a metallic orange, you could really bring out the styling similarities between the two cars. Well, at least I find them quit similar in shape (the front end? The vents on the kickpanels? Ferarri coupe would've made them look like mother/daughter, if you could forget the lineage....) Anywho, just an idea that I got a kick out of. Looking forward to seeing these come out.

Try the triple ended mufflers. Just for the agressive look

Thanks for the interest guys. I'll try to update often.

Thanks for reminding me.. I had planed something for the hood, and almost forgot before spraying primer..

Those pipes definately look unique! Hmm...

I found that site some time ago. I'd love to do every version of every 360 on that site.

The 360 is looking quite nice. Cant wait to see more.

No room for luggage under this hood.
The front brakes need some ducts to stay cool. These may help.
