Andy J Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 So my first finished build in the new cave and a thoroughly enjoyable one. Originally I had planned to build the Blu Lagos version but a mix up with the paint colour meant that i ended up with a normal version which I'm quite happy with. The shell was twisted when I opened the box and one of the A pillars was bent but a bit of fettling straightened out the issues and i don't think those problems show through to much in the finished build. Here's a few pic's of the finished build So that's it I'm up and running and it's time to start preparing for the next one. Thanks for looking back soon 🙂👍 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Delta looks good, a nice first build to get started again. Do you have extra room for display now as well? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have plenty of room to display my finished work but atm I'm to busy building kits so the shelves will have to wait 🙂👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnlambert Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 That's turned out really well, the colour is great and the wheels look good. I think it's only the slightly chunky windscreen wipers that mark this out as a model rather than a real car in a photographic studio. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keefr22 Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Turned out really well Andy, cracking job again! And I agree the colour now looks great and does suit the car - and makes a nice change from the usual red or yellow Delta 'stradales'...!! Windscreen wipers are a pain in 1/24 aren't they - kit ones usually look too bulky and p.e. replacements too flimsy.....!! Very cool build! 👍 Keith 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have another five or six rally versions in the stash so I'll throw one in the schedule every now and again as I never get tired of building a Delta 🙂👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbadbadge Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 You've done a cracking job on the Delta Andy, looks absolutely stunning in the lovely blue. I do love the look of these, they're a beast of a car. Great work fella Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've bought a fair amount of Scaleproduction bits, but always from Spotmodel. Unfortunately they don't have the wipers in stock, so maybe I'll have to order from Scale Production directly soon!
