[PaulTRose]

Now your talking....... One of my fave rally cars ever! Sex on wheels! Simply gorgeous

[kacitgirl]

looks a fairly comprehensive kit so this will be fun

[yak face]

Simply gorgeous , a true rally legend and built without compromise . The Alitalia scheme is just iconic too. Love this .

Lancia designers must have been smoking something herbal to come up with thier designs...... The 037 and the delta were wacky but the stratos was really off the wall

'i want to make it so small the drivers basically strap it on'

'strap it on, right'

'so small the windows wont go down and the pedals are offset'

'offset, right'

'and then i want a ferrari engine'

'ferrari????'

'in the back'

'in the back? Are you sure?'

'yes....... And give it pop up headlights'

'sounds like a winner to me boss'

Looking good.
Do you touch up the paintwork where the parts were attached to the sprue, or does it not show?

well build coming on slowly word of advice to anyone building this kit. The front tub assembly on mines was badly warped and totally out of whack needed a bit of sight heat super glue and a lot of taping up to sort this out, maybe just an issue with my kit and not all of them but something to bear in mind
