As the build is coming towards its end, it needs a case for display. So any updates on on this coming to the uk?

We won't be putting on sale the specific Countach display case as seen in Japan. We will however, be putting on sale a generic self-assembly acrylic display case which is suitable for the Countach and other models in the ModelSpace range.

Kind of disappointing to hear that. When I started my subscription I did so because I saw a completed kit in that gorgeous case.
Oh well, guess I will have to try my hand at building something. The generic case looks okay, but imho this build deserves something much better.
Shame the powers that be decided to go this route.

Disappointing yes, but I did say last April that there was no guarantee we would have it.

You could always go and and have one of the panels of the generic case engraved with a Lambo logo or similar. It's something I've planned on doing for the 2CV when it's finished (some Paris landmarks there obviously).

Great Idea Greyhawk. I actually went ahead and ordered the Pocher display case already and might use your idea on that. Try to make the base look like asphault as well.

If this is the case that's going to be used for the Mustang as well I think I will go the Pocher route as well. This case just looks cheap. I can't bring myself to display a model that I spent this much time and money on in a case that looks like I made it from parts I got at Home Depot.

My Pocher display case arrived. I was a bit concerned as it is a bit pricey at around $200 shipped, my concerns have been put to rest. This is a beautiful and well crafted display case. I'll post some pics once I clear the space for it. Definitely worth the money though, especially for a display piece like this.

Great! Looking forward to seeing your photos of the Pocher display case! I'm actually considering building the Pocher Aventador as my next project when I finish the Countach.

Jalpa Mike, built the Aventador Nero Nemesis, great kit that produces a very scale looking car. Well woth the Price. After the Countach build I will likely pick up either the Huracan or Ducati Panagale. A friend built the Ducati and it is a real nice kit.

Here is the Pocher display case with my Aventador inside. The case does have Pocher printed on one side but not the other three sides.

The Aventador is sorely disappointing after the wonderfulness that is the Countach.

I actually preferred the Aventador build a bit more.
Don't get me wrong I love the Countach build but felt the Pocher kit was more of a traditional kit build.
Built straight out of the box it turns out ok, but the beauty is in all the extras you can do in customizing it.

Plus you can have 2 Aventadors for the cost of the Lambo BigGrin
