So it took me a while ........ and yes it is a nice kit, very detailed, all the parts are a good fit (apart from the bits "Owner Number One" got his mits on ....... But for some reason I struggle with the "Mojo" for it. I should get is finished, but I do a bit then stuff it away in a cupboard, and there it stays for a while.

The Mig-21 kit has just turned up. I'm itching to get started on it........... But I seem to have found my Mojo on the Countach so I think maybe I'll keep on it...... at least for a bit. But I might still get distracted.

A bit more done on this (I have not been idle ). Cabin interior is done. and fitted in the chassis. I've tried to give it a 70's/80's look......


Now I can move on to the bodywork. I've started cleaning up some of the parts............. But I'm bushed. so that's it for now.


..............and I just noticed the decal on the steering wheel has moved off centre. It's so damn tiny I I only just clocked it in the photo. I'll have to deal with that.

Thanks Dougie ........ Quick? It's taken me years on this one off and on ....... It's spent most of that time in the box. I pull it out when I have nothing else on. This time I was waiting on a Mig21 kit. But now I've finally found the Mojo again for the Lambo I'll see it through to the end.

I've spent hours looking at the destructions for fitting the Lambo Doors...... fitting them is fairly straightforward. But I'm struggling to work out how I'm going to paint the inside around the edges with them in situ ....... and once they are on they aint coming off............ and I tried dry fitting the bodyshell earlier and that is going to be a mission. It's going to be a once only deal. You have to stretch the sides out to get it over the cockpit sides......... and there are side skirts and flared wheel arches to go on yet which is going to make the whole thing more rigid.
