Countach!! 1/12 LP400
Started working on this big 1/12 Countach model. It is an "Entex" (Otaki) kit, same as all the other 1/12 Countach kits. Hopefully I will do an acceptable job at it. Inspiration is from this car http://www.fantasyjunction.com/cars/...%20Litre%20V12
but it wont be an exact copy. I am planning on "storm gray metallic" paint and a "regal red" interior. I am still very amatuer, so any pointers are appreciated. Here's some pics of what I've got so far... Kit   Other photos here: http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?s...1&l=6e38324b5d

Re: Countach!! 1/12 LP400
Like italian people say: COUNTACH!!!
I made the 1/24 fujimi one some month ago. It wasn't too easy to build, but very spectacular. I think this model minimum the quadrat of the little brother. I'm waiting the continue!

Re: Countach!! 1/12 LP400
Ok, I thought I'd give it a try...
First, looking at the N parts, there are two of part 4 and two of part 5, this could indicate that the part is used on each side. For example, there are L and R radiators, fuel tanks, etc. Next, the N parts look like they have a hex fitting, as if they would be tightened with a wrench. I looked through some of my Countach books and found a couple possibilities. In this first pic, there is a heat exchanger in the bottom right corner, perhaps the AC condenser? There are two fittings which could be the N4 parts, but this heat exchanger is not represented in the model so these N parts aren't used?  In this next pic of the engine, there appears to be an air injection tube above the exhaust ports, this is not represented in the model either.  The model also doesn't show AC lines coming out of the compressor so that's another posibility. Parts N5 look like they could almost go from the fuel tanks to a charcoal canister for the evap system. I'll be interested to see what ideas others have. Cheers! Stew

Re: Countach!! 1/12 LP400
Excellent possibilities...in the instructions I have it lists some parts which arent used, but says nothing of these parts. I might have to add that ac condenser up front. I don't think these will fit into the compressor as is, but its certainly a possibility. I added my own lines already, but they lack fittings...hmmm

Re: Countach!! 1/12 LP400
What you're calling an air injection tube I believe is a heat transfer tube. It gathers heat from the headers and warms the intake charge.

Re: Countach!! 1/12 LP400
Blah! Since this kit only includes 1/2 calipers, I made up some. My first real scratch built parts btw, & they looked pretty good, but not wide enough & caused real problems assembling the rear suspension. I guess this car isn't getting them. Luckily they are not really visible with the LP400 wheels. Next one will get them. Anyhow, if anyone decides to do this, make them plenty wide!
