I think Countach looks great from all angles and really is a beautiful and exciting design after more than 3 decades. This is an interesting CM's version with opened headlights and opening engine cover. It would be nice if lights could be closed too, but I guess that would be too much. :p I added some black wash to wheels as they looked a bit plain. Otherwise I love this casting as it looks more aggressive than comparable Kyosho Countach.

LM002 is a very different and strange beast, powered by a Countach V12 engine. In general I don't like these oversized cars like Hummers etc. but this one has grown on me. I remember there was one exactly like this included in Super Trumpf cards when I was a kid and thought it was a very cool car. This one is Kyosho version:

Forgive the ignorance, but what scale are these?
That Lambo is crazy! (LM 200)

Lummox: These are both 1/64 scale.

If 1:64 is too small, Minichamps make the LM002 in 1:43.

Your Countach is awesome Superbird77!

Were any other colors available on the Countach model?

Thank you Stutz!

Yes they are other colors available too - red, yellow and black I think, and there are also versions with closed headlights.
