   I love this project! That windshield can be fixed with very fine sandpaper and Novus polishing compound. Here is an example. I built a road going Testarossa but the kit supplied windows had a slider, which I sanded off then polished clear.

   Here's the wheels and tires, I got some 1/12th valve stems, and used 3D stickers for the wheel centers, then put chrome rings around them, also peel and stick, then I used the Molotov chrome fine tip pen for the lug nuts followed by Tamiya black panel line wash. The rims themselves are sprayed with Metalizer Aluminum plate. Tires, because they are used, were soaked in dish detergent, then scrubbed with a toothbrush. I think they came out pretty good!

   Okay, here's where I am so far on the engine re-build. Started to wire the alternator and starter but just started. Used a couple of 1/24th decals just for interest, they are nowhere near accurate, but they do look pretty cool. It's more work re-building a glue bomb than starting a new kit, but it sure is fun in 1/12th scale!

   1/12th Lamborghini Countach

   I've pulled my old, kit out of storage, I built it decades ago and rather poorly at that, but it is a great kit with excellent details, that I can improve on now. So has anyone else built, or rebuilt this old kit?  Any suggestions, pictures, tips???

   With the awesome Ford pick up kits out, I'd sure love to see '67 to 72 Chevy pick up kits done by Mobius to the level of their Ford kits, I sure would! And of course some vintage Dodge trucks after those, after the Chevy ones, please!

    Not muscle cars of course, but I'd go broke if Revell made the '32 Ford variants in 1/12th, like they do in 1/25th, they would sell sell sell! And I buy multiples, and sadly, go broke! But love it!!!
