Lamborghini Countach LP400

This was the first Countach presented to public, and I'll replicate this one.



The Tamiya model:

Undercarriage almost done:

Re: Lamborghini Countach LP400

Today I finished the wash in the undercarriage and painted exhaust tips with Alclad.

I don't think so, I have this for many many years.

Re: Lamborghini Countach LP400

It is the same as the recent re-issue, but I think they cleaned up the wheels a bit and made the glass fit a little better, but still the same "motorized" model.

It will make a good curbside kit though.

I'll keep my eyes on this one for sure, as the Countach is my FAVORITE Itallian Stallion (sorry raging bull doesn't rhyme with Itallian...but they WERE both boxers...wait, how did Porche get involved in this...ugh, I need sleep! hahaha)

Re: Lamborghini Countach LP400

Looks really really good so far!! IMO the seats could use some depth...perhaps a slightly darker shade washed into the seams? Very nice work so far though...great detailing!!

Thats a good idea for tan interiors, never thought of that; probably because I just spray everything matte black and call it a day.

I tried, but didn't like the result, so I repainted and didn't "washed" again.

I forgot the seat belts connector, but now it's on place:


This was my reference for the interior:
