Kyosho Lamborghini Countach LP500S Walter Wolf

Few cars have such icon status as the Lamborghini Countach. It was the car that featured on most boys bedroom walls during the 70's and 80's. Designed not to be anyway practical but purely for looks and performance the Countach introduced a new standard by which super cars would be measured.

My model is one of the Walter Wolf cars. Wolf had Lamborghini build him three special Countach cars, the first one was red followed by two blue cars. Both Autoart and Kyosho have blue models but the mirrors on the cars are different. The Autoart has round gold mirrors and the Kyosho blue aero dynamic mirrors. I belief the Autoart model is car #2 and Kyosho car #3.

The model ticks all the boxes, the detail inside and on the outside is perfect and the I found nothing wrong with the paint job or any of the details. If you are sport car model collector this is one car which model you need to have in your collection.

Kyosho Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona Competizione - #39 Team Pozzi

The Ferrari 365 GTB/4 was for a long time on my wish and this week I finally got my Daytona. The 365 GTB/4 is one the iconic Ferrari's (seems that every second Ferrari is iconic but ... ). Developed during the late 60's in a time when super cars where moving the rear engine old Enzo and company developed something classic. 

Of the ~ 1400 365's build about 14 where special 'Competizione' versions like this one build for racing. This car #39 won the 1972 Le Mans GT class for team Charles Pozzi.

This is my first model from Kyosho and it's amazing. The first thing is that the model is heavy, meaning less plastic and more metal. The second thing is the amount of fine detail in the engine and the car's interior. Lastly I just love the exterior, the details, paint job, sponsorship logos etc. 

I paid a lot but still at discount and it was worth it.

What I love the most of this model, the racing delivery with all the little detail.
