And.. in the instruction manual, we have Rhersheys car, which he sadly gave up for I believe $70k.. Unfortunately looking back, a big mistake.

I think the fenders weigh 2-3lbs each...

 

Holy crap! That's more than my crappy BBurago model on my desk.

Sadly... the end is near!

 

 

Looking great! :icon_thumleft: If only they made a Downdraft CT. I'd be the first to sign up for that.

 

BTW, I ended up getting two Aoshima 1/24 scale Countach kits instead of building the LP400. I have one fuel injected without the side strakes and one DD same. Going to paint the DD Bianco Pearlato (or as close as I can get) and probably the Injected Red or Black.

The level of detail is amazing! Working lights and panels is particularly great

 

How long has it taken to assemble it to it's current state?

I started Oct 5th..

Far from it! You still need to wait for kit #2 piece by piece. :icon_mrgreen:

 

I must say it's looking good though. Congrats!

Further progress.. getting close. First complaint on the model as well. Everything is so well engineered. The front and rear trunks use these amazing little metal struts, but for the doors which will see the most amount of abuse, they use these flimsy little plastic hinges and a silly little metal rod. Ive only opened and closed the doors a few times, and already they are hard to keep open. Other than that, the car is starting to look amazing!
