MarkM Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Dipped in and out of this model over the last six months. Now working at home so took the opportunity to finish. First rally car and first time creating a semi-diorama - quite happy with the results. Decals were pretty fragile so took a while and a few tears here and there! Used the following items for the car: Hasegawa 1:24 Lancia Stratos HF '1977 Safari Rally Eduard 1:24 Red Sabelt harnesses Additional windscreen and side windows Studio 27 detail up set A few images pre-rally with weathering only! Thanks for looking :-) 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nev Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 The Stratos is one of the coolest cars ever, and yours is a beauty. Love how its all dirty and grimy, and in its natural habitat on a muddy base. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windy37 Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Great , well built model . Always have mixed feelings about weathering model cars , mainly because you spend so long getting the decals on right , then they get covered over by the weathering effect . Yours looks good , because the colour scheme is still clear for all to see. Nice one ! Gary . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, to be nearer realistic, the back end should be solid, filthy brown, that's where all the crap goes! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point, you're probably right. Did think the massive mud flaps might have an effect and used a few reference pics. Might have another look.

pau10wen Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Lovely build, and that dash! 👌👌👌 I really like the organically shaped base, that's a great idea and looks excellent for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F-32 Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Love the way you've done that, the water on the windows is particularly impressive 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lupo Rosso Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 The Stratos is definitely my all-time favorite Rally car, and it's great to see one dirtied up, and in its element! Nice job! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
