Toast Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Having some fun with a little 1/32 scale Lamborghini Countach. I took the Police equipment from a Malibu Police car and transplanted it into the Lambo. I narrowed the light bar. I may try to make it a little more low profile but that's not a huge priority for this build. I found a set of decals that I think are for a 1/43 scale car. Looked like they'd fit just right when I saw them in the store. . . And they definately do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kennyboy Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 (edited) Looking good Ryan. You should try to find some 1/24 scale Countach wheels for this. The kit wheels will no doubt be too small + the wrong offset. The Countach had very large tires/deep wheels.

youngtiger1 Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 This is cool project. As a kid I use to have a poster on my wall that showed Lamborghini Countach in CHP colors and aLow flying Lear Jet over it. I thought it was totally cool.

Toast Posted August 16, 2014 Author Share Posted August 16, 2014 Suprisingly, this little kit does have the staggered rear wheels. Don't know if they scale out to the proper diameter or width, but they'll be convincing enough on this little car. I just sprayed them silver and gave them a black wash. Wish they came off the tree a little nicer but oh well. Getting the detail painting done and ready to be sealed down with clear! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youngtiger1 Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Yep, remember that big guy on those posters. I thought he must be Arnold's brother Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toast Posted August 16, 2014 Author Share Posted August 16, 2014 (edited) Awesome! That light bar looks about the same as the kit part so it won't look bad at all. I had a folder in school when I was a kid, just had the Lamborghini police car, no people or other cars. Those pictures make me want to get another 1/32 sports car and some figures, do a diorama. Anyone make 32nd scale figures? Edited August 16, 2014 by Toast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddyfink Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Now I want to do this car in 1/24th! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toast Posted September 4, 2014 Author Share Posted September 4, 2014 Thanks everyone, she's almost done. Just getting some coats of clear red and blue built up on the light cover and they'll be ready to glue on. Broke off the Driver's mirror while polishing it. This little body was hard to hold! But it was pretty easy to get back on solid with just a little dab of glue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sixgunner68 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Sweet! Love it! Hard to believe it's 1:32, I have a hard enough time with 1:24! Looks kinda like the guys that used to chase me in Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit back in my PlayStation 2 Days. I have a Tamiya Mecedes CLK-GTR I have often thought about giving the Black & White treatment...Maybe we need a Supercar High-Speed Highway Interceptor CB.
