Beautiful model John. I really like Kyosho models generally.

The Miura is one of my all time favorites...just an absolutely gorgeous design.  I have Kyosho's SV in silver & the Jota (SVJ) in red...2 excellent models.

Yes, it is a gorgeous car .... in both silver and red !

Here is the Lamborghini Miura P400 SV by Kyosho, this one is the Red/Gold version. Nice detail in this car and makes a nice addition to any collection. I have a video but right now (05/18/2023) Rumble is having some speed issues, it has been going on all day. Here is the video and photos of the car. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Say it ain't so Joe... Goodness gracious great balls a fire... Do I see a tire valve stem in that gold rim in the last pic.. ?   Holy moly !!

...yep! You sure do! 😀 

@john3976 Your light box work is looking very good.

not for my collection, though....

although I have always had a big soft spot for the Miura...

did you know this car had very bad road-worthyness once the gas-tank was getting empty ?

that was because the gas-tank was upfront, adding some needed weight to the front-wheels.

having this thirsty engine behind your back for a short time must have given you a feeling of owning the road,............until the needle of your gas-tank started dropping....  

@joop I do know that several American celebrities (Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra ), at that time, purchased Miuras but didn't like or drive them much. In fact, I think Jay Leno got one (two ?? ) from celebrity widows. Their husbands simply left to cars to languish in the garage.
