discussion Lancia Stratos - 1977 Monte Carlo Rally

[Snowman]

Well, its been a while since I have posted any builds, but on the late I have been busy with one of my all time favourite cars, the indomitable Lancia Stratos!! Any way, here is some pics of my WIP.
The decals are surprisingly of great quality, and react well with micro set and micro sol. Many a time in the past have I had a swearing match with Tamiya Moto GP decals which were vastly inferior to this lot.
Anyway, thanks for looking.

Now that the base is about done with the mud effect drying, I turned my attention to the car.
