Finished Pics: Lancia Stratos HF Monte Carlo Winner 1977

[freakray]

And the Monte Carlo was won 3 consecutive years in a Lancia Stratos between 1975 and 1977......

Lancia ownz Peugeot......lol

Thanks for the tip on the P/E Phil, I will look into it

935k3, getting the body onto the chassis was the most difficult part of the whole model!! After that, I had no desire to build any other variants on this car.....there is some serious flexing of the body sides to get them onto the chassis as there is about a 1/8" overlap on either side of the chassis inside the body.
Another weird thing, the dash glues inside the body, not on the chassis!
Thanks for the compliments

Oh, sorry, some of the people in california talk like that when they just beat a car.. " I just raped a civc wiht my supra" / " I just raped a firebird with my mustang" etc...

No problem, just that that word has other connotations... In fact Lancia did anything but rape the series - they were he backbone of World Rallying for many years. Helping build it up into what we have today, even if they sadly no longer compete.

:right: Lancia have never beaten Peugeot to a Rally Championship - in fact neither has anybody else! Would be nice if Lancia came out to play and had a go at the Pugs!

Great looking job Ray.
Must have been a nightmare getting all the colour's right

An all time favourite for the Rally lovers, and I’m no excerption.
You’ve done a brilliant work Ray. The decals are so well placed that is easy to forget the hard it is to get them right. Well done.

Fantastic work Ray! Even after all this time the Stratos still looks good, probably the best-looking rally car ever made

[bigfrit]

You 've done this great car justice !

Thanks for the compliments everyone, they are appreciated

Guido, I am actually trying to build cars that are representative of the development of rally racing over the year.....Lancia just happen to have had a major influence in the development.

Warren, actually, the markings were a lot easier than you would expect

Another fine piece Ray.

I love this car, it was a real animal, the drivers really had to fight to keep these from leaving the road. I wish i was around to see them.
