Lancia Beta Montecarlo Turbo Gr.5 1/12 scale


Recommended Posts

Hi,
after my Porsche 956 is done i started a new project.
Or i had to say that Torsten from http://www.scaleautofactory.comstarted it for me.

I ask him if he can do me a 3d-printed model of the Lancia Beta and Torsten started it very fast.
So many thanks again to Torsten for his hard work and the great result.
The next car is already in the making!

He used a rfactor mod as starting point and made all the construction work.
Every part was printed in his own 3d-printer.
He changed ofter the design for the print parts and at the end i got my dream car the Lancia in 1/12 scale.

My favorit livery is the "Fruit of the Loom" car of german driver Hans Heyer.
He won the DRM champion of 1980 against the Porsche 935 and Turbo Capris with this Lanica.

So he started his design with the mod and made it step by step ready for the printer.

And after a while i got most of the parts ready for sanding work.

Its a long way to the end for sure.But its easier to do this with that cool 3d technique than by the own hands.
At the moment i started to cut all the windows out and after this is done i will glue the three body parts together.

Thats all at the moment.This will be an long time project because i only do it at lunchtime at work.
My first priority is the finish of my Porsche 956 dual build which will start in a few weeks.
So dont expect too often an update here.This is time consuming.

regards Christian

The windows are out now.I used the Tamiya saw and it works fine.

After that i glued all three parts together.

Than i used a thicker spray filler for the body.

Just another small update on the Beta.

The used 2k putty was sanded to a smoother surface.Just a bit better than before.
So another shot of primer for the body.

Still some putty in use and still some edges where needs for sanding.
But after the windows are nearly ready it looked a lot better than before.

Now is the surface just fine to use the first coat of light primer.
But first i have to check all the small details that are missing.Air intakes,holes and panel lines have to be made first.

Here are the parts that are printed by shapeways.The parts are finer than the ones from Torsten,but still needs a lot of sanding.

thanks for watching this!

all the best Christian

The small parts are from shapeways and they are very good.The grill is so small,but very stable.

The rear parts are done and the rear window must be casted in clear resin next.

The decals are printed on paper to check the fit of the size next.After that Michael can print me the complete and water slide paper.

Thanks guys,taste good!

Some small progress on the shape of the car.
I made the panel lines and glued a thin small sheet onto the door.These will be the sharp edge on the door at the end.

Cut out the brake breathers onto the hood.

The laminates at the early stages of making.

One is sanded into the right shape now.

And finally glued into the right place.
Fits well.

The hood got two holes for the tank filler and the next small pieces are glued.

The body is in the making for the last steps before the first layer of color and all other parts are primed so far.
Everything works fine.
