That's a classic!!


Looking very good so far.


You will show it alone or over a snowed base?!?

 

[Guest]

That's a nice looking motor. Are you chasing down all the Monte winners you can get?

I was looking for this one a few years ago when I saw one at Goodward motoring.


A lovely car, now a nice kit.


Nice start on this and the engine looks very accurate


Awesome

Cheers Robert, its a beautiful car & looks like its doing a Ton when stationary


I can remember back in the 60s/70s the sight & sound of the alpines going flat out through the


Welsh forests at 2am in the middle winter lol

I'm sure it will be John

 

[Snowman]

Ooh, nice kit!!

 

[takeslousyphotos]

Oh I like that John .......... Nice work on the engine matey. If you don't mind the suggestion, a tiny bit of a "Dark Yellow / Tan" wash dry brushed on the outer section of the blued exhausts would nail it in my humble opinion.


I'm going to have to watch this build.........

Haha, join the club lol, I've ordered one ages ago along with the VW polo and am waiting patiently. Only to put them at the back of the stash


I grew up in the more modern cars but I know what you mean about soul. Lancia's have plenty in my book but I still like the look of the newer cars

Looks like we both have to wait for the Escort as shop unsure when more kits will be arriving due to demand on them


Talk of Lancia & it as to be the Stratos Remember seeing one on the 75 RAC Rally with all the rear body section missing due to an Off! . They strapped on a couple of rear lights to make it road worthy LOL..


Cheers John.
