Year of the Lamborghini
As some of you know I've been living and working in China for a few years now, therefore my modelling year ties in with the Chinese lunar calendar, which this year begins on 29th January.
I suddenly realised that I had never built a model Lamborghini, so I decided to put that right and have mainly built 1/24 scale Lamborghinis, here's the first one:
The finish on the rear wing and dashboard is my attempt at replicating Lamborghini's chopped up carbon fibre embedded in resin. Someone said that it looks like seagull droppings. Here's the next one:
Like the previous one it's another Aoshima kit.
Now we have a Fujimi example.
Back to Aoshima again.
And another Aoshima Murcielago.
As Lamborghini is owned by Audi I thought I could include this Meng kit.
That's it for now, there are still plenty of Lamborghinis to add next year including the Miura, Countach, and Diablo. Happy new year everyone.

These look great! Fun builds.
Thanks, Robert @robgenev665, having fun is what it’s all about.
What a wonderful year, George! All your Lamborghinis look fantastic!
Have a happy, prosperous 2025!
Let’s hope that 2025 is great for everyone, thanks for looking, Spiros @fiveten.
Excellent result on those 1/24 builds in 2024, George @chinesegeorge
Wishing you a wonderful and healthy 2025.
I appreciate you taking the time to look, @johnb, here’s to 2025.
Wow! I like how you caught up with building a Lamborghini...by building six! Well done on all, George.
Happy 2025!
Cheers, Gary @gwskat, I’m aiming for another half dozen this year, happy new year.
Confessing my ignorance- what’s the modelling scene like where you are
Hi, John @johnaitken, thanks for looking. To answer your question, modelling is very much a minority interest here in China, I think mainly because there is no history of it. I was introduced to it by my father, a keen modeller of veteran cars himself, and by my elder brothers, getting on for 70 years ago. The younger generation here don’t know of its existence, and even if they did their parents wouldn’t let them waste their time making “toys” when they should be studying. I hope that answers your question, John.
What an amazing group of car models, George @chinesegeorge! 🤩 They all look fantastic to me! 👏
What a great year of modeling for you, sir!
Thanks for your generous comment and support, @garybrantley, let’s hope that 2025 is even better, happy modelling.
You’ve been busy!
Cracking builds, hard to choose a favourite.
I’d pick the murcielago if I could have the real one!
