Ok its not Tamiya, but what a Countach

This is a 1/8th scale Deagostini Countach. I came across one of these on eBay built a few months ago and was amazed at the price is sold for, quite expensive at about 500 pounds or more. I kept my eye out and then saw a un-built full set of parts on ebay go for £1050 ish, WOW I thought, I cant justify that, well to the missus anyway.

But it's a Countach and I kept watching ebay to see what would come up while simultaneously doing some research on modelspace which I then found out sell the whole kit.

Modelspace came out with a 20% offer over easter, which was about £900 instead of £1100 they list it at. Well I was tempted!! But they day after someone puts up one full kit with all parts etc on eBay for £700. I had to buy it but had to keep it secret from the wife HAHA!

I've had it for a few weeks and have wanted to share it with you all. It's only in parts at the moment but I do think I will build it at some point. I also purchased the Deagostini 1/8th scale display case for it, which was a reasonable £60, plus a couple of Deagostini ring binders for the build magazines you get with the kit.

The kit and parts really do look amazing, it's 1/8th scale and looks massive compared to the Tamiya Countach. I was pleasently surprised that even the wheel are solid metal. It really does look an impressive model.
