Lancia Delta, Italeri, 1/12
Hi,
it's taken 8 months, but I finally finished my annual Martini-model - the new, big Delta by Italeri. The kit was released end of 21, so still brand new, but it has good and bad sides. Positive: It's a 1/12 Delta! Decals are good, etched parts, nice details, fit is mostly good. The moulds seem to be a bit... old school - thick sprues, visible parting lines, ejection marks, a couple of sink holes. Same thing with the included cables and hoses - one kind of hose is perfect, I'd like to get a roll of those, the other kind is unusable. Clear parts have a couple of surface problems, you have to polish away. They are also very heavy du to the size, so glueing them with white glue/Liquitape won't work. Maybe it would be an option to cut the side windows from clear plastic yourself. Overall fit is good, just the engine cover I can close at the front or the back but not completely on both sides, when I want it to be openable - unfortunately that's an area you can't really dry fit. But alltogether a good kit, and the result looks great in the cabinet. I'd suggest to paint the body first and leave it to dry for a month, since you'll have to handle it a lot, later. Painted with TS26,49,17,29,Alclad, Mr Super Clear on top; almost everything OOB, with some minor details added. Hope you like it.

Great build, very nice result.
Is the overall fit and used plastics better than the Italeri Fiat Abarth 695SS?

I don't have the Abarth, so I don't know. The fit was good, just a lot of parting lines and ejection marks to sand.
