FAQs

What age is this model kit recommended for?

This model kit is recommended for ages 14 and up due to the complexity and small parts involved.

Are glue and paints included with the kit?

No, glue, paints, and necessary tools are sold separately. They are required for assembly and finishing.

How long does assembly typically take?

Assembly time can vary significantly based on the builder's experience and the amount of detail work (like painting and decaling) they choose to do. It can range from several hours to multiple days.

Can I customize the paint scheme?

Yes, while the kit includes decals for an authentic look, you are free to paint the model in any color scheme you desire. Ensure compatibility with plastic models.

What is the scale of the model?

The model is constructed in a 1:24 scale, meaning it is 24 times smaller than the actual Lamborghini Countach LP500S.

Are the doors really functional?

Yes, the kit features movable scissor doors and a movable bonnet, allowing them to be opened and closed after assembly.

Troubleshooting

Parts do not fit together correctly.

Ensure parts are correctly identified from the instructions and that excess plastic (flash) has been trimmed cleanly. Check for misaligned pieces from previous steps.

Decals are not adhering properly.

Ensure the surface is clean and smooth. Use decal setting solution for better adhesion. Apply decals to a gloss surface for best results.

Glue marks are visible on plastic.

Use plastic cement sparingly and try to apply it only to the joining surfaces. If marks appear, allow them to dry completely and then try to carefully buff them out with a fine-grit sanding sponge or polishing compound if the plastic finish allows.

Model feels flimsy or unstable.

Ensure all glued joints have had sufficient drying time to cure fully. Double-check that all internal support structures and major components are securely fastened.

Cons

  • Requires model building tools and adhesives (not included).

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This is a model kit that requires assembly. Tools such as a hobby knife, sprue cutters, and plastic cement are recommended, along with model paints and brushes for achieving the best aesthetic results. All parts are pre-moulded and require careful removal from the sprue and cleaning before assembly.

Compatibility: This kit is designed as a standalone model and does not require external components or compatibility with other Revell products, beyond potentially compatible paints and glues from the same brand.

Care: Once assembled, the model should be handled with care to avoid damage. Dust regularly with a soft, dry brush or cloth. Avoid direct sunlight and high humidity to preserve the paint and decals.
