Redstaff Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 After the highly detailed S4 to the really basic Stratos I didn't realise how bad and basic Italeri kits were, but then it's an original 70s kit, so things have moved on I suppose, it doesn't even come with windows for the doors, which I thought was odd The bodyshell isn't too bad even though it took a lot of filling and scraping to get it half decent. It also fits way too far forward on the chassis so had to be modified to make the wheels central to the arches. I also thought I'd go away from the usual Alitalia decals and with the Chardonnet instead 15 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Noble Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Lovely build and agree it is nice to see the Stratos in alternative colour schemes. I have one somewhere in my stash that I hope to build as the Pirelli version someday... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to see Stratos in alternative liveries, check out historic rally videos on Youtube - they're still out there in all sorts of colours! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pau10wen Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Another cracker Ian, absolutely love the red. It shows the body shape in a different way for me without the alitalia livery. Great stuff mate 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
