The prototype Countach was exceptionally pretty, but the factory soon figured out the V12 was going to cook back there without some added cooling. Thus the first in a long, sad line of tacked-on scoops, vents, flares, wings, ducts, tabs and other aero additions of dubious aesthetic benefit.
Bertone's body may have been impractical but the pure lines of
the prototype were spectacular; I am therefore going to build up this Fujimi kit to resemble the prototype as
much as possible.
Here I've started filling in the vents and scoops on the flanks.Next will be a series of gill-like slits, and to fill in the NACA duct in the flank.
The V12 looks good but the two intake camshafts are too far apart. I'll probably flow some black paint into the valley between the banks to hide this.
A classic shape. Stay tuned!
