I haven't tried that but will look it up, thanks. I wasn't looking to polish as such though as I was trying to get clean original look. 👍12-Jan-2017

A pleasure for my eyes, well played, that is a stunning picture. As said before it's definitely catalogue worthy.23-Jan-2017

Sp-1136 motor & gearcase

What I also find interesting is that this is a hop up for the Renault 5 Turbo chassic, to me the screw holes do not look like they're in the right place? Anyone know different or more about this?18-Feb-2017

Japanese sports car champ from stuttgart
Outta Control
A great addition to anyone's collection. I had one of these when they first come out, way before collecting and run it in to the ground. Loved the wider rear wheel base and the 2 part wheels. A nice find as I am sure they're getting rarer.2-Mar-2017

Ive never come across or seen both manual myself in one kit. I've owned a few of the early NIB. I would hazard a guess at it being a Japanese version and someone finding and added get an English version.20-Mar-2017

Just noticed something when having a closer look at all the parts. The original catch pins are actually aluminium, I picked them up and thought they felt lights. I guess the CS and spare parts were always plated steel? Interesting!!!! And I've never seen them before, and I've had a few Countach's in my time HA!6-May-2017

Doyusha 1/12 countach lp500s
purplerob
For a relatively cheapish priceI picked up this Otaki. after making the side windows, which turned out very well, I decided I wasn't going to waste materials etc making all the lights. As I understand it Doyusha was after Otaki whom bought the plans/moulds I guess. These are identical as far as I can tell so far, even the detail in the manual.11-May-2017
Ok its not tamiya, but what a countach
purplerob
Nice!! I got the folders for the manuals today. All filed nicely.11-May-2017
