Wow, that's quite a major amount of work! I love it!

I love this type of kit bashing project! Thank you for posting....AND......for showing us how to do it right! Very nice thread that I will be following with great interest! I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Paint is smooth, the LED ring light makes it look like massive orange peel!

I got the Zero paints "Fly Yellow" on with Mr. Hobby clear and polished. Just a mock up with my hinged engine cover. Still making the doors fit is very challenging due to the unusual hinges, attached to the (still not glued on) dashboard!

Here's how the dashboard and door panels turned out. The Zero Paints "Cuoio" painted speaked grilles were given a wash with Tamiya light grey panel line, Dash is a mix of flat black, semi-gloss black, black, rubber black, and nato black. NOTE: On the real car, the window buttons are on the center console and the door openers are tucked up under the arm rests, so the door cards are uncluttered.

Onto the dashboard. I cut out the gauge cluster so I could detail it easier. I made the fuse block cover that was missing in the kit. I wrapped some curved styrene with .010 wire, then painted it "rubber black" and installed those "ducts" from the A/C unit to the dash vents.

I'm in the same situation. But I'm finding so much satisfaction doing what you're doing, making something out of............. a sow's ear? LOL So much fun! Cheers!!

Fantastic! Nice work and building tutorial, thanks for sharing and inspiring us! Cheers.

I love your tail light treatment, reminds me of a 60s Ferrari!

Yeah I think bobss396 has the solution!

Man that's looking great already! They are good looking cars, especially with that stance and those wheels!

Yeah, that's pretty wild, and VERY cool!!!

I just Googled "nav screen" images and printed out on paper then glued on, then brushed some flat clear acrylic, here's the image I used:

Wow that some extremely fine work on the Countach, which is an all time favorite for so many of us, and your's will be the finest model ever built of it!

I love the look of Halibrands on these, here's what I used on my Vicky:

It's looking fantastic! Engine bay does look great too!

Yeah that's exactly where I'm at too, still buying more kits though, it's an addiction! Fun trying to do stuff with the old "junk" though, very satisfying!

Wow, that interior is stunning! What a bold colour choice and it really works, I love it!

Nice work! Looks like great fun with a high satisfaction value! I love saving these old things and you are really doing it right, nice!

I have this kit in the waaaay-off to-do pile, interested in seeing how it builds up by you. So far it looks very good!

Trying to make a full detail, factory stock 1961 Falcon:

Factory stock

It's looking very good! I like black carpets with any colour interior, good choice!

I drilled some .050 styrene sheet for pedals, and basically I've shifted my focus to the bodywork, so that could take some time! Hope to be posting on this project again soon.

Love the stance!
