Yeah, good news. Thanks Kyosho…
But then again some mistakes we can’t accept nor unsee! The dark blue Wolf Countach is missing the gold pinstripes, got wrong 5000S mirrors (come on, Kyosho, at least put the gold bullet units!), 5000S type front blinker (you know they have LP400 types parts since they’re the same as the for the red Wolf Countach!), totally incorrect 5000S type door panels (now I have no words anymore)
Well, now the white 5000S is the one that got LP400/LP400S door panels!!
Seriously, there are plenty of pictures available and people willing to help make better and more accurate models in Japan! I personally know them since they are Countach owners, yes, including those 2 red and dark blue Wolf Countach!
Thank you for the insight. I guess that’s the reason why there isn’t much talk about this re-release article.
Well, the door panel issue canbe sorted easily so that at least the white (and red) one would be worth buying.
I was almost feeling bad for just having purchased the Make Up 1/18 of the dark blue Wolf Countach, but seeing the many mistakes, I am still glad I got that :)
I do like the Kyosho Countach range, although the overall body shape just is not correct, the roofline is too curved
