Luca

Waow, I'm so excited to know I will have this other Gr. B soon in my collection !
You and Roman are making 2013 be a great year for Gr. B fans !! :thumbsup:

Simply fantastic, not only for offering possibility to get this model as a kit, also as a master class about how to make modelling.

very nice.

Luca your skills are simply brilliant. A fantastic rally car model that easily puts major manufacturers kits to shame. Hope I can get one if these kits!

Stunning work, doesn't get any better than this..!!!

Simply perfect your way of working and of realizing the kit, Luca.
I am amazed :eek2:

great work Luca congratulations :)

Luca,

Such brilliant detail. Well done Sir.

Stewart

Good evening guys
Thanks to all for the compliments

small update
I have almost completed the assembly of the components of the part below
missing the front suspension .. I'm completing the rims and tires to check the balance before gluing details
I began to assemble the details of the interior ...

sorry for the lack of cleanliness of assembly, but I'm trying to do everything quickly:rolleyes:

best regards

Luca

non ci sono parole Luca !

How many wheels! Perfect!

Impressive first pic which could be taken from a book !! :eek7:
Wheels almost look real... :naughty:

I'm already saving my coins to buy this one!

Very good job Luca!

Looking better every day... I can't wait to give you my money !!

What diameter are the tarmac rims (ie are the full size rims 15" ?? 16"" ?? ) At a glance they look as though they'd be a good replacement for the ones that Profil 24 supply with their Lancia Delta S4 kits but may be the wrong size....

Any chance some 'spares' could find their way into a kit box :wink::wink:

Good evening guys
Thanks to all for the compliments! ..... and thanks Paolo ..:wink:
I finished in the rear of the underside of the frame ..
for the interior aspect of the decal Additional ...
I did draw a second time the inscriptions of fire extinguishers
and indicators on the dashboard
the first graphic was not satisfactory
In a few days I are given
we approach the end of the project:grinyes:

thanks to everyone for watching

best regards

@FangiO: the wheels of the celica are 15 "....
and I think they do not fit the Delta S4 ....:shakehead

Luca, I don't have words anymore to say how excellent I find your work !! :naughty: :grinyes:

@FangiO: the wheels of the celica are 15 "....
and I think they do not fit the Delta S4 ....:shakehead

Am I wrong or aren't Lancia rims 5 nuts ones ? :confused:
If I remember well Lancia team created in 1985 a screw-gun able to screw the five nuts at the same time aiming to change wheels in the middle of the stages (especially in Monte Carlo)...

My God, great work Luca. Your already these finish the toyota

stunning work,Luca...as always.....:worshippy

Alessandro

Good morning guys
some update
I use a method to coat a bit complex .. but for me the best result
after putting the decal do three steps slim 2K
after 2/3 days honed with mesh 2000 and water
then three more steps of 2K and after 2/3 days again mesh 2000 and water
then another 3 steps 2k, mesh 2000
and if everything is smoothly
step at polished ... otherwise the other three steps of 2K:)http://i850.photobucket.com/albums/ab70/pacioc/carrozzerietrasparente001_zpsb7418435.jpg

Now mesh 2000 and other three steps of 2K

see you soon

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!!


Luca

bellissime ste livree mitico.
Mi faresti solo un favore? penso che i tizi ammereghani del sito nn si incazzino.Potresti per cortesia riscrivermi in itaGGliano nostrano i tuoi passaggi col 2k? ho capito che sopra le decal fai un velo di passate leggere col 2k probabilmente per nn bruciare le decal.Poi a salire sempre passaggi leggeri fino a uno finale abbastanza wet.Ho capito bene?

Un abbraccio e buon natale.;)

...hi guys, just asking little better explanations in our language to this great modeller ;)

Good evening guys
I ended up with the clear
here is the result after another 6 steps .. for a total of 12 ....
Monday we can remove impurities and polish a little bit...:iceslolan

Luca

They all look fabulous, if I had to pick my favourite I would struggle, but the number 21 Safari Rally version of Juha Kankkunen would just be my 1st choice..

Hello Luca.
Wonderful result!
Very tough choice, which version is needed! :)I look forward to.

Superb models !! :thumbsup:
Safari one will be my choice too, but it's very tempting to build another one, the Portugal version is also tempting me, as Portugal rally has been one of the main and most representive event of these Gr.B years, but it's the closest livery to Safari one... :icon16:
So I need to think about it. :grinyes:

I think I'll need 2 of these.... Classic TTE livery, and the Belga sponsored car.

Love them both, and can't wait....

On january 2nd I'll rob a bank so will be able to buy the 4 of them :biggrin:

Good evening guys
small update but it required a lot of work
polished bodywork ..
I painted the details in black .. and the window frame and the upright
the door with semi-gloss black ..
I made the inside of the headlights with BareMetal
I now have to do the windows ...
Another tedious work .....:smile:

thanks to all

Luca

beautiful Luca:worshippy

Zim

Superb !! :thumbsup:

Amazing!!

Very, very nice... Only a pity difference red color decal and painting (Belga and official version). Where can I buy it?

Hi Luca your work is a masterpiece.
Just to mention that the door rally plate(Portugal rally) has a color error.Where is HOTEL ESTORIL SOL is in red and VINHO PORT WINE is green.
I hope you can correct that.

Oh yes it's contrary, I even haven't noticed it... :eek7:

http://i850.photobucket.com/albums/ab70/pacioc/017_zps06602ad7.jpg

ouch :-((

do not believe it!
I look .... the look ..... and we have not we realized!:crying:
I will do everything possible to solve this ...

for reji: hello Mr. Denk ... for the Belgian color
you're right .. but the red color that uses the manufacturer of
these decals is this .. thought it was a
red "normal" .. however is the same that use ST27 and tamya
decal for "toyota" they realized
the difference in the official version with the color I used
is a little ... just a little change the hue ... I have tried the
best compromise between the correct color for me and
the color decal ... but for the Belgian version I could not do
these fittings are "fast" to check everything ..
with more evidence you can decrease the difference ..

thanks guys .... will update very soon

Luca
