Jordan White Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Well I cracked open my kit, and figured out that they fumbled a bit when labeling the kit. It's claimed to be a LP500S, but all signs point to it being a Series One ('78-'79) LP400S, namely the wheels, and smaller wheel arches. I do prefer the looks of the early 80's LP500S, so I plan on modifying the wheels and fabricating new wheel arches to mirror this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan White Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Got the rear wheels fixed for the most part, just have to do a little filling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rctruk Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Well here goes...I've never built one of these before. Fujimi sure has done well with detailing. I'll probably build it box stock. Hopefully I'll be able to get some of the sub-assemblys put together and ready for paint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike_G Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Got the rear wheels fixed for the most part, just have to do a little filling. Those are LP500 wheels, The LP400 has no wheel arches, no chin spoiler, and no rear wing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan White Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 True the LP400 doesn't, but they made the LP400S, which did in fact have the spoilers and arches, it was made from 1978-1981. The LP500S went from 1982-1985, and after that it was the LP5000QV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timc Posted December 28, 2014 Author Share Posted December 28, 2014 I have tried repeatedly to put the photos here. every time I get the image bow and add the link it freezes and I have to refresh the page.When I try to cancel the box I get a message that some properties of the website have changed,I still have to refresh the page. I'm starting to feel like what's the use of even being here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
