    Got the interior and engine done. Could have had it done today but other duties came first.

    I tried to emulate this color scheme but I got the door panels and other parts to yellow

    . I thought about going with black but a lot of details wouldn’t be seen.

    The engine sadly wont be seen as the body will hide it, had I had the foresight I would have cut the body and hinged it like the 1/1 car, oh well.

    . Maybe there will another one in my future.

    I drilled out the steering wheel before I painted it…i think it came out pretty good…i thought I took another pic before I installed but guess I didn’t.

    All that remains is the front end, which is poseable. To me that makes a car model if they are able to pose I will cut it so it turned left or right. The wheels are done and ready to mount (not pictured)

    Some of the photos have a lot of lint/dust they will be removed before I seal it up

    7 additional images. Click to enlarge.

    The interior looks really great, Cricket (@bikequeen). If you keep building models like this you will need to change your screen name.

    @gblair thanks again George, I can point out a thousand imperfections, but all in all I like it…and no I will remain Kie Queen, my stash of bike con tunes to grow. I saw that kit and have admired (read: drooled) that car for decades. I grabbed. I think it’s one of the most attractive sports cars ever made

    @jdtruby Thanks John, it will disappear once the body is in place, the air intakes could have been better. I didnt think the engine would be that detailed or I would have hinged the body to show it.

    I agree, the Miura is indeed one sweet looking vehicle and so is your build, Cricket @bikequeen. Those instrument dials look terrific. I noticed that Hasegawa seems to keep this kit in constant production ever since it was first tooled in 2004. You'll be at the finish line in just a few more laps.
