Lamborghini Countach: Protoype bodywork and chassis

What a fiddly kit! Getting the chassis to sit square on its 4 wheels will be a challenge. 

But the body mods to reproduce the LP500 prototype have turned out reasonably well. 



I did not cut out the vents in the engine lid, as seen in several period photos of the prototype; but I did manage to put in radiator mesh from Detail Master. The "periscope" rear view mirror has also been cut into the roof.

 

Final assembly looms large. I've slowed down since finishing the Toyota 2000 GT about a month ago; so I am hoping to finish this before the end of 2020. Stay tuned!
