Fujimi 1/16 Countach??corvettekid_7684 10-15-2011, 10:27 AM I was considering buying one of these & was wondering how detailed they are, as well as quality & parts fit...can anybody give me some insight? corvettekid_7684 10-15-2011, 12:11 PM BTW, I'm looking at the 25th anniversary edition Helico 10-16-2011, 09:06 AM I can't comment on the 1/16 Countach as I have only the 1/24 version. But I own both 1/24 and 1/16 288GTO and 512BB. The 288GTO is slightly different between the two scales, in a good way. Based on the number of parts and personal impression, I think the 1/16 version is better. However 512BB is a different story. The 1/16 version is not as good as 1/24 as the engine is designed to be motorized and therefore some details are incorrect. All I'm saying is that the 1/16 is not a direct scale-up of 1/24, at least for 288GTO and 512BB. Hope this help. corvettekid_7684 10-17-2011, 11:24 PM Thanks...I've got one on the way. I hope its nice! exhaust smoke 10-26-2011, 05:27 PM It's a great kit. A bit like a large scale Enthusiast Series kit. corvettekid_7684 10-26-2011, 08:17 PM Arrived today & it looks pretty good so far. It's gonna be a bit before I start on it tho brcause I just started a big project... ;) Scale-Master 11-01-2011, 01:35 PM I built two of them many years ago. The window frames are fragile, handle them with extra care. The engine cover wouldn't fully close without some adjusting/trimming of the carbs. Not too difficult, but frustrating not knowing until the body was installed to the chassis. If you are doing it as a curbside, you can just leave off the carbs and the engine cover will fit OK.
