Its good man! Top marks to you! The chassis is the right length the wheels sit well, can't wait to see it with windows and don't worry you can always enter it in a future comp!

Looks OK, not very well executed man. Lots of details missing, bumpers looking off, and misspainted?

And that foo' is sittin' too high.

its not completely done yet, but the rear bumper, thats the excess glue. im going to sand and repaint it, same with the front bumper. also, i made the chassis too long so i have to shorten it up and make a longer front clip. it does run thoough, and the front steers without a proble. i got lites in it last night and finishing up the window.

no offense, but those lights dont look too great. there's much detail missing, and i see it as an insult to lamborghini if you don't get the detail on it by the time it's finished. I know it's not finished, but just tryin' to get it goin'. color choice is nice, overall quality of paint is pretty good too. and the ride height is a little high, but if you plan on driving it, that's the perfect height

there is still lots to do, and yes i plan on driving it so it sits up high so it doesnt rub. i want to use the lambo rims i just can t figure out how to cut a "d" into them to make them fit. i plan on putting the windows in and i plan on finishing it probably this weekend, theres not alot of time during the wekk to do it. i have finals and work so it probably wont be done til this weekend. there are more decals i and going to put on it so it wont looks so palin, but the model kit only came with basic things, i used all the body stuff in it minus interior, so this is almost it.

It looks great actually and you did a good job fitting the wheelbase. The wheels fit perfectly and nice exhaust setup! One thing I would suggest is to paint the tail lights. It would make it look a tad better.

It looks like he either pulled the bumpers off before the paint dried, or it could be glue + overspray. If the bumper is mounted correctly to the body it doesn't seem to show except for on the rear bumper.

glue it together a little better and let the glue cure. then touch up those spots with paint. you haven't clear coated it yet right? the clearcoat can ease the transition a bit from the touch up to the untouched paint

the taillights i had to put there cuz there was no other room. the gunk is the glue, im going to sand off access before i put on another coat. i dont need to clearcoat it becuz the paint is made for automotive, actually, its touch up paint. so its already pretty glossy. i had to glue and tape together the front bumper becuz the glue wouldnt dry as fast as i wanted it to. ill take more pics tonight with updates.
