There is only one kit that has given me nothing but trouble from the beginning, and unfortunately its my favorite car of all time -the Lamborghini Countach. The Fujimi Enthusiast kit, to be precise. My first attempt was in 1988/89. For me it has to be white with semigloss black vents and trim, and a light beige with black accent interior. While I've never had problems building it up and detailing it, the white paint has ALWAYS never come out right for me. First time I sprayed white, junk ended-up getting stuck in it. Another time, when I actually got the white done right, I got black overspray on the white body that didn't polish-out very well, and yet another time after having to keep sanding junk out of the white finish, there were so many coats of white and clear that none of the body parts would fit anymore. I took a 6 1/2 year break from modeling, and joined the Army. After I got out, I tried another white Fujimi Countach, and all the same problems cycled right back. Talk about ANNOYING!! I don't believe in stripping bodies, to me, that's just adding more depressing work. I think Fujimi made a small fortune off me with the Enthusiast Countach kit, because since 1988/89 til present, I've purchased and destroyed 16 kits! Looking back, I think that maybe God knew that eventually Aoshima was going to come out with a Countach kit that would kick the BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH outta Fujimis -AND THEY DID!!!!! So, to make a long story short, the Army made me persistant, my wife gives me encouragement, God gave me the talent, and Aoshima gave me THE kit! The ONLY thing that could improve the Aoshima kit, is if it had a complete engine to build., soooooo, as of right now, I am in the process of putting a complete Fujimi engine in my Aoshima kit, and its working swell
