Aoshima Lamborghini Murcielago SV - Pre-Production build

[bombervince]

First of all, Sorry for the late posting everyone, I got this kit from Aoshima in Mid November 2013, I started the build in the next day and suppose to complete by mid December 2013. But due to my work I have very little time to work on it.

Finally now i can spare more time on my hobby again. ^_^


what I can say is the mold is excellence


the kit even provided parts if you prefer to use Photo-etched parts


the tire molding is also impressive, the mold line is inside unlike others in the market where it's harder to clean up. For this kit I just use a cutter to cut the excess mold line.


dry fitting, the overall shape is very good.

the body were sprayed with 3 layers of black, and then wet-sand with 4000 grid sand paper.


still, some areas "over-sanded" T_T


the interior is also an awesome work, it even comes with the seat belt buckle.


another view of the interior


the engine, I think the picture explains all.

the door still have a visible "sink hole" after sanding with 6000 grid sand paper, and the sanding process even reveals the primer


The close-up pic of the "sink hole", it's more noticeable after i apply some chrome powder


My only choice is to sand it smooth and re-spray again
