cmatthewbacon Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 A nicely detailed, straightforward curbside kit that really captures the look and stance of the pugnacious original. Zero Paints colour matched Giallo Ginestra and 2K Clear Coat. Why not red? Because I nearly bought one of these in my mid-20s, until I discovered how much it would cost to insure (that and the fact that the "seller" didn't have ANY of the paperwork for the car, which worried me even more than the insurance). Still, it's one of the few models I've built of a car that there's any possibility of me owning, ever... Those of you who followed the build will know all about the paint; if you didn't, the clear coat solvent managed to leach the red dye from the bodyshell plastic right through the primer and the yellow base coat, and turned orange. This has been stripped, sealed with oxide paint sealer, and then primed and painted a second time. The only other tricky bit was getting the chassis inside the body shell, which is a "once and for all" deal, with some extreme flexing of the body required... bestest, M. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinxman Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Lovely stuff - the yellow is my fave as well. This and the NSX have been on my shopping list for 25 years - chances of owning - nil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viking Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 That really captures the look of the real thing very well, lovely job there! (It probably wasn't red dye leaching from the plastic. Remember this is a Lancia, it would have been rust ) Cheers John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyG Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Always loved the Delta too. I did build one of these many years ago and I've still got one of the rally versions to do - Repsol version. I never got ot own one of these, closest I got was one of the old Delta HF turbos. Cracking car, IMO far better than the Escorts and Astras that were around at the same time.
