White Rabbit Posted January 30, 2024 Posted January 30, 2024 Aoshima Lamborghini LP 610-4 After a two-month built, the Huracan is complete. A nice kit, but with tricky final assembly mostly due to very small mounting pins and glue surfaces and some body warpage. The Huracan was built mainly box-stock with the addition of some wiring and plumbing on the engine and seatbelts on the interior. The body is painted in Tamiya Silver Leaf overcoated in Tamiya clear. The interior is Sky Blue and black. The blue is carried onto the exterior via the blue brake calipers. Interestingly, the wheels were pre-painted gloss black. The engine bay cladding was my first attempt at forged carbon fiber. It's a base coat of black with German Grey sponged over it. Paint: Tamiya primer Body: TS-30 Silver Leaf and TS-13 Clear Chassis: Tamiya black, aluminum, and custom tan Engine: Tamiya blacks and various metal-colors from both Tamiya and Vallejo Exterior, Other: Tamiya Sky Blue and black Interior: Tamiya Sky Blue, black, aluminum, and gunmetal Additions Aftermarket: Detail master wiring seatbelt latches, various craft wires, embossing powder (for carpet) Scratch-built: Seatbelts and buckles, various engine details Thanks for looking! 5

Matt Bacon Posted January 31, 2024 Posted January 31, 2024 Looks fabulous, very clean build with great colour choices and very neat detail painting. Forged carbon looks very good. I hope you had less trouble than I did getting the rear clip to fit and stay in place! It looks like you did the body tweaks to fix the awkward panel shapes on the rear wheel arches and at the front of the doors, and it looks all the better for it… Great build. best, M.
SpikeSchumacher Posted January 31, 2024 Posted January 31, 2024 Very nicely done, Enzo! Love that Tamiya Silver Leaf. It has just the right amount of metal flake for a scale model ?
karbuildr Posted January 31, 2024 Posted January 31, 2024 Very well done build. Nice details, great color choices.

I did reshape the front fenders and smooth the transition on rear fenders. The front was just sanded down from convex to concave to transition into the doors. It seems that the body was a bit warped as the sides did not seat on the sides of the chassis as the body was bowed out. I glued the sills to the chassis which corrected that, but the rear bumper was not able to perfectly fit the rear. When I tried to fit it, the passenger side bowed-out again and unglued from the chassis; so, I went with the lesser of the two issues and regaled the sill.

And, as you noted, the metal flake is well scaled for 1/24.

dino246gt Posted February 4, 2024 Posted February 4, 2024 I love it! Nice Bull! Ciao!! Seriously, beautifully built and excellent colour choices. I love matching brake calipers to seat colour as well, cool!

As I researched Huracans for the build, I found several that had matching calipers and interiors; which seemed like a good way of tying the exterior and interior colors together for a unified look. 1
