Can we now have a 53 page argument about whether it should be assembled with or without the rear wing? ;)

I do like the Countach but the rear lights are disproportionately big. Like a cartoon character with super-sized eyes.

Bonus points to the first person who rebuilds it into Wolf of Wall Street spec.

They are but nothing some well placed strips of white electricians tape wouldn’t solve and, let’s face it, your going to park it on a shelf either front on or side on so you’re not going to see them unless you turn it round!

They're a little deeper than ideal but it's not hugely out considering the limitations with Lego and this scale. And yeah, they'll be facing the back of the shelves anyway :lol:

Countach looks great (nit picking details aside).

Can only hope there's a Testarossa and 959 coming soon after...
Cheers,

Mike.

My bro had a big operation last week so is stuck at home for a few weeks (mobile, but can't do anything too physical yet). He quite likes Lego so I bought him the Concorde. He's pretty much finished it in a couple of days - hopefully it's made recovery a little less dull!

I coincidentally watched the movie this week... (which come to think of it, probably isn't a coincidence that it's on Netflix currently). Everyone should watch the little embedded tribute movie on the page Baz linked to.

I have the landing mount version. It’s quite pricey but I couldn’t find any others that could show off the landing gear and droop snoot whilst wall mounted

The new Jaws minifigures have an uncanny likeness to the main characters.

I know their video is linked from the product page but I managed to miss it...

Cheers,

Mike.

Finally managed to get a classic Defender sealed for £140, that's going to keep me entertained for a week or so.

The P1 looks like a pretty good model.

Bit weird that they are doing the P1 - all the other big supercars rendered in Technic (at £250 upwards) have been current models at the time they were released: 991 GT3, Chiron, Lambo Sian, Ferrari Daytona SP3. The P1 is a decade old. Obviously trying to appeal to people who watch Tavarish's channel.
