Lancia Beta Montecarlo turbo longtail Grp. 5 (Le Mans 1981)

[1959scudetto]

Great news for race car fans : Heller will release a fully detailed model of the much sought after Lancia Beta Montecarlo turbo which demands outrageous prices on ebay.

I'm sure that it is a reissue of the former Esci kit albeit with new decals - just discovered this on the spot model site - they expect it to be available in November !

Here is a link showing parts and assembly:  https://media.spotmodel.com/docs/Heller/80741.pdf

On Spotmodel you can also already find some new decals and a set of resin detail up parts from Decalcas that correct and improve the original Esci parts.

Interesting. Looks far too detailed to be an ESCI kit. Every ESCI kit I have seen has been a very basic curbside. Did they actually make full detail kits?

yes, the esort mk2s, the fiat/lada shape rally car and the last amt mk1 golf are esci kits originaly

Like the Escort, this kit also came in a “Crystal” edition with clear bodywork, so it pretty much had to have interior details otherwise there wouldn’t be much to look at!
