Howdy all,

I managed to pick up a Fujimi 1/16th scale Konig Lambo Countach from their Entusiast range.

I just have a dilemma:

What colour should I go for? So far, I'm stck between:

White, silver or black.

What do y'all think? Alternative colour suggestions welcome.:D

If you wanna go for a classic Countach look, go with red. I haven't seen the Countach in too many different colors. You should look around to see the car in a bunch of alternative colors, and pick what you think it looks best in. That's what I would do.

I would go for white. I saw one in a showroom this color, and it looked really good.
I have a question for you though. How are the wheels and tires on this kit? Do they look proportionate or are they on the small side? I have the 288GTO and Testerossa in this series, and the wheels and tires are way to small.

White. Classic Countach color. Many were white w/white interiors. Very 80's.

Thanx for the input guys. White was my primary choice as it looked good on the box. I suppose that I'm pretty much gonna make it box stock, except for a bit of plumbing in the engine.

To answer Hawk312's question, the wheels and tyres are actually not too bad, and look about the right size in proportion to the body.

White Countach's are cool!!! Go for it!

I have the 1/16 25th anniverary version which i abandoned a long time ago. There are so many ill fitting and badly molded parts, the kit would take a huge amount of effort to look right. I wasn't prepared to put the time into it so i've left it ever since.

I think it would look sweet with a high gloss midnight blue paint job, but thats just me

defintly white on white

they look the best that way.... or chose some really random color... but either white ... or something dark, the car isnt one for hot bright colors. least IMO
