    Hey, great job man!

    Really like the color, something uniquely Lambo.

    But if this is a "S" model, and please correct me if I'm wrong/fuzzy on Countach models, but this looks like an early periscope model. Thought they were only LP-400s (plural).

    The kit is based on the Walter Wolf cars. In fact, the original kit by Otaki was of the LP400, later released as "LP500S" with the added spoilers, flares & wing. Different wheels/tires & other bits were also added. (including Wolf Racing decals) Regardless, its a nice kit to build :) Consider this one an LP400 upgraded to "S" spec ;)

    Hi Julius,

    No...not a model builder. Just noticed the body had the "periscope" roof indentation of early cars, before the "S" model was introduced. That's all.

    Thanks! I had considered trying to change the periscope roof & engine cover vents, but the wheel flares are still "off" & beyond my skills to correct. Plus, I didn't want to end up ruining the body. I'm no pro when it comes to that, so I left these details as they come
