Looks good, you should try and light the pictures a little more or somthing... Kinda dark. I love the mud flaps on these cars for some odd reason call me crazy.....lol Looks great!!

Hi MinesGTR.

Nice collection of Lancias you built.

Lancias are my favourite Rally Cars!

I need to get inspiration to start my 037......apply martini stripes decals on front seem to be dificult.....

Regards.

Lovely looking Lancia 037.It may be the lighting or camera flash but the front window surround looks a little too glossy? Otherwise an excellent build.

Don't worry about the Martini stripes on the front.They are not that difficult.If you use some decal setting solution, a hairdryer and a little patience then they sit down quite nicely.

I sometimes use a hairdryer on complex shapes and very carefully warm the decal (but not too hot..!!!!) it can help in making the decal conform to the complex curves of a model.I also use a cloth sometimes dipped in very hot but not boiling water and use it as a sort of iron if you like to help smooth the decals into place and into tight curves etc.Also the use of decal setting solutions helps as well.A combination of all 3 methods can give you the edge when you need it.
