Trends Hobby 1:64 Lamborghini Temerario Review: Grey Diecast Model
By Scale Metals
Trends Hobby, usually shortened to TH, is still a relatively young brand, but its release pattern is already easy to recognize. Its regular-production models arrive in much larger numbers than its limited editions, while the smaller runs often become especially sought after. This Lamborghini Temerario is one of the regular releases, offered in metallic grey and metallic green.
The model reviewed here is the grey version. It is a 1:64 scale diecast model with plenty of small details and two notable interactive features: an opening front cover and a removable rear engine cover, beneath which the engine is represented.
Quick take: The metallic paint, wheels and removable engine cover give this TH Temerario plenty of interest, but the high stance and oversized front-cover gap keep it from being a completely convincing miniature.
Packaging
TH keeps the packaging fairly simple. The cardboard box carries artwork of the car and Lamborghini branding, but there is no acrylic display case. The model is not screwed to a base either; instead, an upper and lower plastic clamshell holds it in place. That no-frills approach suits a model that invites handling, and the overall build feels appropriately sturdy.
Body Shape and Paint
The overall body shape is largely convincing, but the stance is less successful. The car sits a little too high, giving the side profile a faint allroad-like appearance rather than the low, planted look expected of a Temerario.
Both launch colours have an appealing metallic finish, with paint flake that looks fine and evenly distributed. On the grey car, the colour works particularly well with the black trim and wheels. The awkward gap around the opening front cover, however, is difficult to miss.
The side door handles are molded in relief and look a little soft. The front lip and rear valance are integrated with the underbody. On the metallic green version, the side skirts and front lip also carry red edging. The small front canards have carbon-look detailing, while the rear side intake is molded in relief with a black-painted interior. Black window surrounds and carbon-look trim around the rear intake edges add some contrast, although the fit around the windows leaves visible gaps of its own.
Wheels and Front-End Detail
The black multi-spoke wheels have a respectable finish. The brakes are also carefully represented, with red calipers providing a welcome spot of colour behind the dark wheels.
At the front, the headlights are separate clear parts, although their internal detail is fairly simple. The hexagonal LED running lights at either side of the nose are present. The ventilation grille uses molded texture rather than open mesh, and a front radar detail is included. The Lamborghini badge appears to be pad-printed, while the front lip remains part of the underbody assembly.
Rear Details
The taillights are separate clear pieces. Carbon-look detailing features extensively across the rear and appears to be applied by pad printing. The brake-light details, including the central strip, are painted or printed rather than formed as separate lenses, and the remaining rear badges are also printed.
The central exhaust outlet is molded into the rear valance, with a fairly ordinary finish around the pipe opening. The diffuser appears to be integrated with the chassis and includes fins and carbon-look detailing. On the green version, those fins receive red edging as well.
Opening Front Cover and Removable Engine Cover
The front cover opens to a generous angle and reveals a small luggage compartment. The inevitable trade-off is the panel gap around the closed cover. It is wide enough to detract from an otherwise clean front end.
The rear engine cover is removable rather than hinged. It is a plastic piece with openwork and carbon-look detailing, held in place magnetically. Once it is lifted away, the engine underneath shows a moderate level of detail, with some colour separation and additional carbon-look finishes. It is not exceptionally intricate, but it gives collectors a good reason to look beneath the cover.
Interior and Underbody
The interior is mostly black, with much of the detail picked out in paint rather than separate components. It is adequate at this scale, though not one of the model's stronger areas. The front wipers are molded into the windscreen rather than supplied as individual parts.
The metal underbody is mostly a flat plate, with the rear diffuser providing the principal detail. Front and rear tyres differ in width, and the tread pattern is rendered convincingly enough for a model of this size.
Final Thoughts
TH's range leans heavily towards GT3 racing cars, but the brand also produces road-going supercars and occasional limited IP collaborations. This Temerario feels robust and is the sort of model that can be handled and operated without constant concern for fragile parts.
That durability is welcome, but the front-cover gap remains a real weakness. The opening feature does not add enough to justify the compromise; a cleaner fit with the cover closed would have been preferable. There is plenty to enjoy in the paint, wheels and removable engine cover, yet I would rather see TH concentrate more closely on panel fit, detail and overall craftsmanship. Those improvements would make its future releases much easier to recommend without reservations.
