Lancia Stratos

[Scale-Master]

Finished it up this morning… I think my favorite parts are the milled hood louvers and the Stratos lettering on the deck. I was going to machine a few items, (like fuel fillers and a mirror) but decided to put my energy into another project when I noticed the seats extend outside the window openings, as if that is the worst part of the kit... Fun little project, but lots of issues.

Pretty much out-of-the-box except for the hood. I made seatbelt decals and used gauges from a sheet I made. License plate is from the parts box. I left out a part that goes under the rear louvers so you can see a little engine detail through them, not much there, so I didn’t mind cementing the rear closed. Paint is Tamiya TS-44 Brilliant Blue.

Beautiful work. It's good to see a street version.

I'd been following the build-up on this and I'm still shaking my head over the milled hood louvers. With that being beyond my abilities, I sat here and tried to figure out how I would've tried to mask that Stratos logo on the back

Nice job again, Mark!

NIce work. That turned out great.

Hey Mark,

When you started this I thought "How is he going to fix those louvers." Well that was an excellent upgrade. I really like this one. The colors are great. Thanks as always for brining us along.
