A guide for this piece: about $460, based on the 10% US charge on the declared value of goods made in Japan.
The final figure is set by US Customs and depends on where the piece was made and the kind of object it is. Many antiques over a century old carry no ordinary duty; most jewellery and leather goods add a single-digit rate.

The DeAgostini 1/8 Lamborghini Countach LP500S in the red Walter Wolf specification: a complete 80-issue kit, offered with the official display base, display cover, carbon sheet, five binders and a Countach history illustration.
The Piece
This is the unassembled kit, not a finished car. The set comprises issues 1 to 80, the dedicated display base and cover, a carbon sheet, five binders, and a history illustration. It ships in more than one carton.
The kit builds the red Walter Wolf LP500S, with Rallye Racing decals, the Wolf Formula One badge, scissor doors, a tan interior with blue harnesses, and a detailed engine bay. Reference images of the completed model are included.
DeAgostini issued this Countach as a Japanese partwork: parts and a weekly magazine, at 1/8 scale, meant to be built at home and shown on the official base under the cover. Walter Wolf commissioned a series of Countach specials in the late 1970s, remembered for their wide body, rear wing and bright colour. The kit follows that specification, in red, with the Canadian maple-leaf badge.
