1/24 Leo Models 1954 Lancia Aurelia B24 Spyder

Wheels: Hatchette Pegaso Z102 narrowed, with knock-offs from a Heller Alfa Romeo 1750 Zagato.

Tires: Spec Cast ’32 Ford

Interior: Repainted from pinkish shade of red to dark green with dark green flocked carpet.

Chrome: Molotow used for the windshield frame and tail light bezels. HVAC chrome duct tape for the rocker moldings. 

These B24 Spyders tend to sit a little high in the nose, so I set the model’s ride height to match. The disk wheels and hub caps it came with were perfectly fine, I just like the car even more with chrome wire wheels. The knock-offs from a Heller Alfa are about the right size, and proportional to the wheels, as compared to the full size Lancia. I know, they’re BIG, just like the real thing.

 

Enjoy!

Very nice conversion, Tim - great to see something from you again.

I have been thinking about the use of the Pegaso wheels for this one, too, keeping the  cream version with the steel wheels and cionverting the silver one in a similar way.

Great minds think alike, Helmut! 😄

Oh yes!   Very well done conversion.  I had not seen this Lancia model before, is it fairly new?
