    Hi everybody, with my resin Porsche 911 GT3 currently in the garage of doom, awaiting a new year resolution, I thought I would add to my Lamborghini collection with this Fujimi kit of the Gallardo.

    The kit is over 20 years old and has been reissued a number of times. Mine is moulded in white. I’ve started work on the body by highlighting the mould lines that need smoothing off.

    And deepening the panel lines a little.

    Followed by sanding it all over using my trusty Tamiya sanding sponges in preparation for the first coat of white primer.

    That’s it for now, plenty more to come, happy modelling.

    Great start on a nice car, George! 👍 I recall visiting the Lamborghini dealer in Dallas with my son, Carson, when these first came out. They had two in their showroom, and they were around $170,000 at that point. As we were leaving the place, we peered through the garage windows at several exotics inside the garage. I remember Carson saying how cool it would be to work there. I corrected him by saying it was a greater aspiration to own one of the cars the mechanics worked on! Much cooler. 😉 😄
