This might not look like something special, but in all honesty it is. This is a 1/43 scale model depicting the 2004 edition of the Lamborghini Murcielago, the original 6.2 version, finished in white over a highly contrasting red interior, even the dashboard is completely red, something you would have a hard time convincing Ad Personam on doing … the top of the dash would reflect sunlight on the windshield.

But this is a scale model, so who cares about that right ? And this is a special edition model too, Minichamps only made a limited number of these to be sold at the 2007 Kyosho Fair in Japan, fortunately with the internet these days I managed to get hold of one of these anyway.

Minichamps might not be the best 1/43 model maker out there, but some of their models are quite nicely finished nonetheless, and this Murcielago is one of the better ones, sure it's not a Looksmart or an AutoArt, but all the details are there, the rims look nice, the interior is nicely finished and overall the proportions do look correct.

So adding this model, which is rare outside of Japan, sure makes sense, yet another Murcielago 1/43 scale model to put on display, fortunately these do not take up as much space as my beloved 1/18 models.
