25th Anniversary Countach

Beautiful work David. Real nice work with the head lights and doors.

Hi,
Still drooling over the keyboard... Awesome engine detail and front trunk  
I built a Fujimi some years ago, no engine and no front lid, nowhere near this...



Cheers,
Nuno

Thanks all. Some questions Nuno, how did you solve the issues with the metal bars in the door mechanism? Did the interior tub line up properly when the bodywork went on. I still have another one of these to do, the fujimi recent release without as many details which I assume this is it. I asked Curt if he had this kit a while back to no response.

What a superb result Dave, 1st rate and front of cabinet.

Hi Dave,
It was built nine years ago, but after checking the instructions and the model (Fujimi 124-11), now I remember those issues; bars were discarded; the doors hold open on the hinges alone. No issues fitting the tub on the body provided the doors are put in place shut and taped.
Sorry if I can't be more useful.

Cheers,
Nuno.

Thank you Al.

Thanks Nuno, it seemed impossible to have the bars working with the doors as the angle was way too steep to lie in the guides so I adjusted the door internals and let the bar have a bit more freedom. What a challenge this build was.

Sorry David, I wasn't ignoring you, I must have missed your question. No I don't have that kit.,

Wide eyes, open mouthed, drool and disbelieving stare - superlative result!

Outstanding. Love those 'vanity' license plates.
