Lancia Stratos

With a passionate re entering of the hobby in 2024 I undertook an intimidating project for me originally Started in July - Can’t believe I’m writing this. I finished my Lancia Stratos, I genuinely saw no end to this project for a number of months being intimidated by the motor and interior where I didn’t touch it for prolonged periods so I’m ecstatic!


Model -
Lancia Stratos Hasegawa + GP modelling transkit


Details -
Few Photo etch parts
Flocked seats
Aftermarket, Hood pins / latches, miscellaneous

Modifications -
Mainly the separation the rear clamshell and fusing in the transkit subframe
Removed molded in latches and hood pins
Wiring and pluming done via reference using scale materials not included in the kit
Pigments diluted and airbrushed

Brush “chip” stippling in the motor bay

Pros
By far my most complex project to date, a monster of a task for me, I’m super happy
Stubble in-transit wreathing
Cleanest wiring and and plumbing I’ve done
A first for dividing a styrene body

Cons
Some imperfections in the clear which I was too intimidated to correct at the time

Rear louvers should be sanded thinner, and or have the livery wrap around the corner, air vents on bonnet. Both tricky things I didn’t have he courage to touch.
