Progress: Lancia Stratos
My turn to have a go at Hasegawa's Lancia Stratos. Been mucking about with this for a while, still not realy sure where I'm going with it - how detailed or what livery
 So far I've chopped the rear engine cover off...  ..in order to show off the engine that will be stuffed in there.  The engine is a resin copy of the Fujimi kit, nicely plagerised by Reji. Only came with one fuel tank so I'm in the process of making another from putty, which explains why one of them is yellow.  Since the rear is going to be opened up there will be plenty of scope for detailing. For example here is trial run at improving the suspension by replacing the plastic kit spring (on the left) with one made from coiled wire and an aluminium rod shock.  How this will turn out is anyones guess

It's about time you started sharing this one with us Phil, you've certainly dropped enough hints about it to me
 Nice to see what's going on, looks like you've made an excellent start  Another one of your builds well worth following!

I thought, jsut another nice progress report, but not this time. It'll be amazing, since the first picture I saw, is a chopped engine cover, followed by a complete engine that'll go in there and a modified spring system. Amazing work Phil!

I'm sure this will be a progress thread I'll love to follow!
I'm working on Markku Alén's 1978 Sanremo Stratos (of all the choices it really had to be Markku's  ) and I've also chopped the engine hatch off, but I'm using the engine parts straight from Fujimi Stratos as I had one (I bought it couple of years ago and I was going to convert it to Markku's rally Stratos, but fortunately Hasegawa brought their kit before I got started).I have no idea when I'm going to finish it, but I guess my progress may be quite slow because of all non model related things going on right now. Currently I'm finishing the fit between body and the engine cover. I'd need to see some pictures of the inside of the rally Stratos' engine cover, as I believe it was different from the civilian version when the car used the big round glassfibre air filter box. There are two air tubes coming from the side scoops to the airfilter box, but I'm not quite sure how the rest should be... I have seen only one small pic of this type of cover and I couldn't quite figure out how the horizontal panel below the slatted rear window cover should be (or should it just be removed?). Good luck with your project! -Mikko

Damn, I almost lost all the interest on the construction of mine after seeing the tremendous entrance of your Stratos project Phil.
It will be a pleasure to see you apply your great skills on this model and I hope you post frequent updates of your work. What is the base version? The 1979 Chardonnet’s one?

I've been tossing up which livery to go with, was thinking about Markku Alén's Pirelli sponsored car. But Mikko seems to have taken first dibbs on that now! Nuno is building the 75 Sanremo winner and Ray has built the 77 Monte winner. With those options eliminated I think I'll go with my original intention and use the Studio 27 decals for the 1981 Tour de Corse winner, even though they are undersize in a few key areas. Yes, Nuno the base kit is the 1979 Chardonet car.
I too have one of the Fujimi Enthusiast Stratos kits Mikko. Was going to save it for if I ever get around to doing a second Stratos. Interesting comments regarding the interior of the engine cover, I've never really seen a good pic of in there. I don't even know what heads, exhaust or airbox arrangement the Corsica 81 car ran. If anybody has any pictures I'd be very grateful if they could post them. If not I'll just wing it. Knowing the decals are wrong and the car will never be fully accurate I feel strangely liberated!

Well, since the last update this Lancia Stratos project has escalated out of control. In a fit of exuberance I removed the doors and front! Time will tell if this was a wise move or not
  Now I’ve got a whole lot of stuff to ponder and scratch build. A project that was going to take six months to finish is now likely to take twice as long! Or disappear to the back of the cupboard like my similarly ambitious Evo VI. Lots of problems to be sorted. First up I’ve got to find a way to move the cockpit and firewall forward several mm so the front section fits properly. These pictures show how it fits now.   A bit of trimming of the firewall so it sits more vertically and sneaking it forward into the cockpit a mm or two should have the desired result. Of course that may have consequences in other areas…

I forgot to mention Seb (_835_) has volunteered to help me out with making the correct size L'Automobile decal for the front. He is going to design a new one and try printing it on an ALPS, which can print white. Thanks Seb!

I was wondering if somebody who has built a Hasegawa Stratos could be kind enough to take and post some photos of the underside of the completed model. I'd like to see where the chassis and suspension line up with the body, so I get everything in the right position.
Thanks for any assistance.
