Rich75 Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 Hi all,thought I'd share my first car build,I've had it for over 30 years so I thought I ought to finish it, WIP elsewhere on here it's been pretty challenging to be honest quite a few problems on the way,not a lot fitted very well which spoiled it for me really but had to see it through,also it's a lot redder than the photos show,I'd like to do another car but don't know if this put me off yet,anyway thanks for looking and seeing some of your builds helped,cheers 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiny Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 Don't let the hard work put you off - it turned out nicely in the end. You could always try a kit without an engine to try getting your mojo back - that would save a lot of time. Or, if you get the urge to do another Countach, the Aoshima one is excellent, probably the best kit I've come across so far 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco F. Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Fine looking result, I can't see the problems you had anymore. And to start with an "enthusiast" series model after all these years is a tough task. Congratulations Marco F 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red316 Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Looks great, well worth seeing it through. As you say it's a 30 year old kit and I think we forget sometimes how different they are to today's offerings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy J Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 (edited) Well all I see is a very nicely finished Lambo well done indeed 👏 👍. ......more please 🙂👍 If you're looking for a mojo boost grab yourself a Tamiya kit the parts fitment is excellent the prices are reasonable and there's a huge choice of kits available 😉👍 Edited June 25, 2021 by Andy J spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

galaxyg Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 It looks great to me, and the paintwork is excellent. I'd echo the above, get something Tamiya, new-ish (1990 onwards) without an engine and you'll have quite a different modelling experience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anteater Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 Nice result, full marks for sticking with it. Fujimi kits can be pretty variable so it'll all be easier from here on! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Six97s Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 I gave up on mine because of fitment problems, so I can only be impressed. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
