Italeri 1/12 Lancia Delta HF Per Eklund Swedish Rally 1989


Recommended Posts

Hi

Now is my Swedish Delta finished. Conversion Decals from Reji, a resin hood and also a etch sheet was included. The hood itself looked very nice but doesn´t fit at all when the engine is installed. That hood is nearly flat and used for the 8V engine who was in this car. The Kit has the 16V engine ,  wich is much higher so the kits hood is higher in the middle.

I bought 3D printed gravel tires , looked better than slicks for a winter rally 🙂 

Painted with Tamiya TS-34 Camel yellow.

The kit itself is very good and fun to build, the only problem I got was the bolts and nuts for the wheels , they didn´t match !? .Another builder have the same problem, hope Italeri fixed that now.

I have a W.I.P on this forum also.

That looks really good man.  I like how that turned out.  Details looks great.  I think me and you are the only ones that have done this version (in this scale).....at least that I have found.  

Thanks Marcus 🙂 I belive more yellow Deltas will come, also I think more liverys will come from the aftermarket to. My decalsheets was from 2 different makers, the Camels was very nice, but the Clarion had a 3D feeling, a litlle raised, and they

was difficult to lay down smooth to the surface. maybe all of the decalsets are like this..

Superb build, looks fantastic,  was this built mostly oob, except the decals you mentioned?

Thanks 🙂 I have a w.i.p. on this, I replaced a lot of plastic hexbolts to metal, screws in various places. Added braided lines with connectors, also wires hoses and such stuff in the interior and under the hood, engine and so. also some extra stuff 

on the chassi, uprights , exhaustsystem. Did some modification on the dash support to the floor, added the alu foil ( don´t know the english name for it )to the rear of the interior. and of course the 3D graveltires.

I can highly recommend this kit ! Liked it alot 🙂
