Progress: Lamborghini Murcielago

[Veyron]

This is the new Fujimi kit which is pretty nice overall but as with their tradition it has inaccuracies. Body parts fitment is top notch which is big improvement when compared to another of their newer kits like the NSX-R.

The wheels are very nice but a common occurance seems to be that the rim edge gets buggered during shipment, a packing glitch I would say. All four of my rims were buggered.

The inaccuracies:

Suppose to be a window trim panel line on the body above the side windows, not there. I will mask that line when I spray the black around the side windows.

Not suppose to be window trim lines around the windshield, but they put them there. The window is a flush fit design.

To correct the windshield trim I simply sanded the inner A pillar edge toward the panel til it was completely removed. Then I filled the horizontal line above the windshield.

Before sanding and filling:


After:


You can see the window fits flush although the right A pillar is bowed slightly outward which will be corrected during assembly.


There is a small sink mark on the rear deck requiring a smigge of putty.


I also stretched the chassis about 3/16", though the real cars rear wheel is slightly mounted forward in the opening I moved mine back to my liking. Easy to do, one straight cut and add styrene strips.


This is the car after moving the wheel back, and I do think I will go with the Volk CE28N's.

Really nice modification there, it's more proper to look at. Is it just me... or the rear wheel arches are a little off from the real car?!?
