Lamoborghini Countach LP500

This is a old Tamiya kit version, not the recent re-released kit so it's a bit brittle. The plastic on the driver side of the window snapped upon arrival so I did some little fixing on that. The paint is Tamiya Mica Red.

It's a kit that can be used for R/C I believe as there is a compartment for batteries.

Got the two coats done, waiting for it be cured.




More to come.

Re: Lamoborghini Countach LP500

Almost done! Just need to paint the interior and minor fixes on the paint on the body.

Re: Lamoborghini Countach LP500

1 suggestion if i can, it would look all the better if you used flat black around the windows and air ducts

otherwise it looks real sweet! the colour is sweet too!

Thanks. Yeah, next time I probably will. I was just following the paint instructions but now that I see it, it's too shiny for me so flat black is what I'll use on my future projects. Thanks mate.

Re: Lamoborghini Countach LP500

Did you put the decals on the tail light lenses or on the reflectors?
Looks great otherwise.

Re: Lamoborghini Countach LP500

I put them on the reflector as par to the instructions. It was kind of funny why since the decals weren't exact fit, but with some thinking, I managed.

Re: Lamoborghini Countach LP500

The decals are supposed to go on the inside of the clear taillight panel. I was wondering why they looked odd.

^ If that's the case, *smack* on my part. I'll try to get that fixed then. Thanks.
