In this video I complete my Tamiya Lamborghini Countach LP500S on the TT01 type E chassis. TAMIYA Legends Facebook Group ⬇️⬇️⬇️ www.facebook.c... Please consider liking and subscribing to support us on our weekly videos...
Great!! I am Japanese. It's one of my favorite machines when I was a kid (about 1978 or 79)! At that time, the price was too high to buy... But now I can experience it thanks to RU-vid. It's been a good time. Please continue to make fun videos. I am rooting for you from Japan.!(^^)!
Also my childhood dream car. I need one in my collection. I appreciate passion for the cars because I can go on about cars I have an appreciation for. My late father who passed away Sunday introduced me to the countache from the movie cannonball run when I was a child and started a love affair with that car that still burns today. Thankyou
Just revisited this video as I'm going to try line tape on a white Tamiya Escort Custom. I've bought Kyosho 0.7mm and 0.4mm rolls from one shop and 0.5mm and 0.3mm sheets from another. Getting the lines off the sheets looks like it could be tricky. I think it's going to be a long weekend of trying to decide what looks best. I've even found myself looking at shut and panel lines of cars as I walk home from work now! Great video as always.
Could kick myself for not picking one up when it was available. I wish Tamiya would produce unique rims more often, those just do it for me. Though I maybe would've preferred it to be rere'd on the Group C chassis like the F40 in 2005. Especially with the wide rears they'd look epic next to each other.
White is probably my favourite Countach colour ever, black is a close second because they're both super simple colours and let the car's bodylines do all the talking. Red also isn't bad but it suits the original Countach a lot more than any of the later versions with the wings and exaggerated proportions. Looking great there Glenn and it's a perfect replica of the real thing :)
I'm sick of seeing salesman get involved with the hobby just so they have a subject to create content about so that they can get the attention they so desperately crave or quit that job that they dreadfully hate. Your a true O.G of the hobby Glen, keeping it real in a genre full of posers and imposters.
Fanastic looking car that! Got my son his first Tamiya RC kit for Christmas. I haven't touched one for about 20 years, but your videos have inspired me to get him into it. Cheers Glenn and Happy Christmas 👍
Your fans in the Missouri Ozarks are stopping by to tell you how much we enjoyed your video this morning! Great work, great camera angles and great narration. You are a true professional, and are inspiring many out here to this hobby. It's a great thing. Please keep up the great work, and Merry Christmas to you, friend! Fred and Connie.
Great car, great job! Grats to this iconic 80s legend. I wish Tamiya would rere it. I would like to have one myself. Its almost a must have for us older folks ;-)
Lamborghini made a few (very rare) Countach’s called the Low Body, they are as the name suggests just lowered versions of the car so dont be afraid to drop it a little because if it’s ok for Lambo to do it, then why not, the car looks incredible 😀
An excellent job, Glen! One thing which disappoints me, and it's nothing to do with your skills, is the fact that Tamiya didn't make the front and rear wheels different widths. There's a huge difference on the real car.
Always wanted one of these, but usual story, no money to buy when they were for sale. I think your choice of painting it white was an excellent call, either white or red for the Countach IMO. One thing that was bugging my ocd was the wheel arches, please can you sand them Glenn, then show us the finished result?! Thanks for another cracking vid mate.
My ocd flared up when I saw the front indicatorlights were in the wrong way around (orange goes to the outside, white or silver bits to the inside). But it's an epic kit in any way you build it.
Another stunner for the shelves! The linetape is a tricky one on white bodies, as its often almost too stark a contrast, ideally you'd want a grey line, but dunno if they do that with tape. It gets too busy if you do the whole car with blackpanel lines, as noticed. I think your half/half approach with picking out major details with the linetape was a good inbetween solution. If one wanted to be really picky, I guess I'd try to widen the rear wheels out a bit more, looking at the "real" car, the wheels are just about in line with the body, giving it that wide stance look. But regardless, its a glorious looking lambo. ALSO, watching your vid, finally answered my own questions on what the heck those odd panel things are for the inside, I have the bodykit, but no instructions, and google didnt turn up much looking for the instruction sheet. :D So now I know. Thanks for that as well as the joyful video. ¨ Cheers
Looking good. You need to add those surrport bars Glenn those are to pull the sides in at the bottom, although how much they will help I'm not sure, the contach curves in quite a lot at the sides.
Hi Glenn, the car looks awesome, well done! I did notice that you have put the front lights on the wrong way around. The orange indicators should be on the outside. So it’s just a matter of swapping the light buckets around.
Wow! Thats a flipping gorgeous car. It'd be interesting to see that shell in TRF colours or even a Tamiya Legends colour scheme with those star decals 🤔. Anyhoo, a thoroughly entertaining video as always. Brilliant!!!😃👍👍
Hi Glen!!! I’m a bit late on this video…. Great job on the Lamborghini!! Looks great!!! Cool idea I can give you if you want it …. Get a Blackfoot driver and paint the head in your likeness and him wearing a Tamiya legends shirt!!! I did it on my Blackfoot in my likeness and my wife and kids had a great laugh. Just a thought….. you can live out your child hood dream now! 😂😂😂😂 Thanks my man!!!
The very first additions of these Lamborghini's was designed without the rear wing but personally i think these versions look better with it and some even had a front wing on the hood/boot just in front of the lights and glad to see you went with the white...Just look at her you've done an excellent job Glenn 😎👊💪👌🔥🔥🔥 gonna lightly smoke the windows ?
Love this video! Top car and the result was stunning! Good decision with the line tape and those front lights look amazing 👏 hope they do a re re of this body shell 🤞🏻
Hi Glen, great video mate. Have you tried it with black wheel nuts? I think that might add a bit of contrast in the wheel area that would suit the car.
Fab job mate……..I don’t want to be “that guy” but I think you need to paint the mirror boots black. Other than that spot on……..if it were me though, i would put pop up headlight on…..and I would run it, its a Lambo after all. Did Tamiya do a Tessa??????? These 2 have long buried the hatchet, and seeing them both together is like heaven
I think the line tape doesn't work too well because it's still a bit too wide, even 80's Lambos didn't have gaps this big ;D the tape is available in 0.4 as well.
Very nice Glenn, it does need a few more tiny details added to it like the indicators and maybe paint the door mirrors black, would look even better if you can make a driver cockpit fit into it 👍👍
Hi Glenn, you’ve done a good job on the colour scheme and who as a boy, didn’t want a Lamborghini Countach as a boy. I think that perhaps a bit thinner line tape for the details of the door, boot and other creases. Only two days, it would have taken me much much longer, but, I know I am a lot slower. Merry Christmas and a happy New Year. 😊😉😊
G'day mate nice looks great in white don't know if like the pin stripping sorry mate. Yeah driver cockpit or smoke out windows tint would make the white pop mate
I was always a Ferrari fan. The Lambo always seemed a bit too much. Great days for the super cars back then though. No stupid congestion charges or electric vehicles. Red Ferrari Testarossa Black Lambo Silver Porsche 911 TC Yellow Lotus Esprit Turbo Yum yum
Use a peace of styrene and cut it out to match the top of the dash of your driver cockpit and then Trace where it is going to meet the body at the bottom of the windshield and that will fill in your Gap. I know I probably didn't explain it to where u understand what I'm talking about. Lol.
