Best lamborghini countach kit

[randx0]

What Lamborghini countach kit is the best ? 

There are so many kits out there and some are  obviously not well done . 

 

My only experience was with the Monogram kit , which I felt was an easy build and I felt good about the end result back in the 1990s .

The Fujimi Enthusiast kits are probably the best out there. Don't get me wrong, they're daunting to look at but if you take your time they build into something pretty special. They also cover about every version of car that was available.

I prefer the Monogram kit, even though the Fujimi kit may be more accurate. The only thing I wish Revell would do is to add a front wing, some aftermarket driving lights, and a 12 outlet exhaust so we could do a 'from the box' rendition of that famous movie Countach!

[Bill Eh?]

Definitely not the Tamiya kit. Decal to represent the taillights. LOL  Aoshima has many versions of the Countach worth considering.

I watched a documentary on that car which made me want to build that particular car but also reminded me how insane the countach was at that time .

The same ones testors reboxed ?

I would say the Aoshima kit.

I have both the Aoshima and the Fujimi Enthusiast kit and the Aoshima kit is a little less detailed but looks to be easier to build.

Yes, Testor's did sell a lot of those kits under their own name and you can usually score those a bit cheaper than the Fujimi branded versions.

For larger scale, the 1/12 scale Otaki (and reboxed as Testors) kit is pretty nice. I built one long time ago. There is currently a "in progress" thread about it by Dann Tier.

Well, it isn't this one! LOL! 

[Brian Austin]

What kits are there of the earlier version, without the flares and wings and such?

The Aoshima kit looks at least as good as the Fujimi (better, in my opinion) when built and goes together with surprisingly little drama. It's thoughtfully designed to sidestep many of the assembly challenges presented by the Countach's unique shape, such as the rocker panels being separate parts that fit perfectly so you don't have that moment of terror when you have to force the body over the chassis. The downside is that the engine detail isn't quite at Fujimi's level, but it still looks great when built. Both Fujimi and Aoshima have produced early LP400 kits.

I built the ancient Tamiya motorized kit, looks correct but needs detail.  Have several Fujimi Enthusiast series in the box still, daunting yes.  Have a Otaki 1/12 kit, looks good.  Steer away from the old Nitto kit, it's horrible.
