... and the next one on the bench!
OK, OK - I know EVERYONE has built one of these however I never have so there!!!!! This is up there with my all time favourite rally cars but definately is my favourite colour scheme, its gonna be the Alitalia liveried Lancia Stratos driven by Sandro Munari at the 1977 Monte Carlo Rally.
Not only is this my first Stratos its my first Hasegawa model too, I have to say it looks as good as the Tamiya models I have built however the proof is in the baking as they say so we will see along the way.
As I did with my little Renault 5 (
http://www.scalereproductions.co.uk/...y_renault5.htm) Im gonna be opening the rear cowl as I have managed to get one of the rare Renassiance (I think) resin engine transkits for the car, I also have some Studio 27 goodies and a further Hasegawa Etch set. I am a little undecided wether or not to open the front yet, apart from the spare wheel I dont think there is an awful lot of further detail in there and I also think hinging it would be tricky too. Any suggestions here would be welcomed.
Anyway, out of all the models I have built so far this is the first car I really am looking forward to finishing as I just think it was and still is a stunning WRC car.
Here's what Im starting with:
and the box of the model...
as always updates will be on here and at my website, simply cannot wait to get going on this one!
