First I must confess that I’m a Tamiya fan. All my models (except this one and an Italeri Ferrari 512 TR) are from Tamiya.
There are some differences between this kit and the ones I’m use to build. First of all the paints. The numbers in the instruction manual correspond to Gunze Sangyo and Mr. Color paints.
It was a bit difficult for me to find conversion charts between this numbers and Tamiya or Humbrol numbers.
Other difference to Tamiya models is that Hasegawa use many small metal parts. This gives the car a better and realistic look.
For instance, Tamiya use decals for the belts.
Hasegawa use this:
Note that the belt measure is 2 millimetres, and sometimes we have to pass him four times into the same metal part!
Overall the quality of the model is really good and the decals are easy to handle and to apply,
I now plan to build more Hasegawa models. The Lancia 037 Rally, the Lancia Stratus and possibly the Lancia Delta HF Integrali.
Ales, this kit only has decals for Auriol or Bugalski versions.
I don’t know if the HF Integrali version have the Kankkunen decals.
Kind Regards.
