Just finished up my model tonight. Very pleased with how it came out! Quality is top notch! Even my wife was amazed at all the electrical things (horn, tail lights, front lamps, guage lights, etc.) The only items I had a final question about, was the lower rocker panels that go on and the black wheel arch extensions. The wheel arch extensions don't really seem secure like other "press on parts" in the build. Some of the fitment pins seem smaller than the mounting holes so don't really press on tightly for that firm feeling. Anyone else have this issue, or suggestions on how to fix? I'll make a picture of it along with the real Countach in the garage once I get it back! I have it on loan to a local museum here in Washington State until September.

Thanks guys for the compliments! I can't wait to get my "real" Countach back from the Museum display! Oh well, at least others are getting to see it at the new "Exotics @ Americas Car Museum" display. Here I am posing with her at the opening gala.

Mike Hi Mike, You need to ensure you pics are re-sized first prior to uploading. They should be no larger than 600x480 pixels or 148kb. This will also ensure your pics are shown on your post rather than members having to download them to view..... .. Hope this helps... Regards Alan

I find using a site like Photobucket helps because it does all the work for you making photos fit. However the website is atrocious but the app works amazingly.
