Lamborghini Countach LP500S
I found this kit for US$7.50 today.
 I think I can put a motor in it if I want to. This is how it looks like after removing the 2 mold lines that go from the front fender to the rear fender. The mold lines can still be seen in 2 places after 2 light coats of primer. Please refer to the last two pictures (from point A to B). Do you think that I have to sand it again or it will be covered after a few coats of paint?

Seems like you have 'ghost lines'. This is caused because the lacquer primer reetches the places where you have sanded. My suggestion would be to apply a heavier coat of primer, then sand out the mold line from the primer, then prime again.

I would sand those lines off to avoid more coats of primer/paint. Those bodies have very thin panel lines that easily fill up if too many coats are applied.

Thanks for your suggestions.
I sanded the mold line and it looks fine now. The rear light decal is placed on the inside. Weird.  I think I will paint it instead. I am not good a mixing paint so I decided to paint the interior white.

This kit is not going well.
I sprayed the body again because I over polished it. :o I also used too much glue on the dash and it melted some plastic.  Primer can not even out the imperfection so I guess I have to get some putty. I think I will work on this kit another day and move on to my new kit Porsche 911 GT2 Road Version Club Sport.
