Lancia Delta Integrale HF 16v - Hasegawa

[CoinCoin]

The Lancia Delta Integrale was an iconic car in Europe during the 90's, one of the queens of the world rallye championship...

My goal with this kit is to make au "museum" version of the car, and to keep as close as possible of the original car.
I spent several hours on the web  to retrieve all informations I can find : color shemes, interior configurations, and photos ! A lot of photos : body, interior, chassis, motor.

Here are the first steps of this buiding :
- suppress the molding lines
- apply some putty if needed
- cut the hood, be cause I want to have the possibility to open it, a motor will be added with USCP kit
- bleach bath for the rims, to remove de chrome paint on it

I put the first coat of primer on some parts (chassis, rims, etc..)
Primer : Zero Paint light grey
Airbrush : Harder & Steenbeck @15psi
There is still some work on the motor and the body.

 

If you're interested, I made a first vidéo for this model building, step by step:

Nice looking project, I'll be following.  I am currently building the Lancia Beta Montecarlo in both long and short-tail.  I also have an ongoing project building two versions of the Fiat 131 (gravel and tarmac)

Bienvenue Arnaud

Looking forward to it, the last Integrale I saw was in Birmingham coming in to the Airport carpark in England a few years ago,

You just don't see them being driven around anymore.

Indeed, these cars are quite rare nowadays. I will search how many of it has been produced.
In france I only saw few in showrooms, not on the road

In the north of France, it's too cold to make some paint, so I continue with detailing some parts of the car.

I modified the back of the seats, to fit with reality
I detailed the back of the hood with some structures (made with 0.25mm and 0,5mm Evergreen sheet) and added fake hinges. I tried to wake a real openable hood, but there is not enough place for the hinge system  

Sorry for the poor quality of the photos, I'm a bit disappointed with photo quality of my One Plus 6T...

Some work tonight, on the engine.
The USCP resin kit is well detailed, but the sparks cables are molded and not very realistic.

Sooooo.. i decided to rebuid all the ignition circuit, whith spark cables and the ignition head (not sure for this translation, sorry)

 

USCP Kit

 

Starting the head with Evergreen sheet and Rod (from left to right : 1/8" rod, .020*.040" strip, .030" Rod)

 

.042" stainless tube for the elbow and a wire recycled from an old USB cable

Welcome, do not apologize for pictures and translation.  ?  I have a rally version in the pile, so will watch with interest.

Here we go again !!

I had to rebuild all the ignition system I did yesterday...
It didn't fit, it was impossible to close the hood ?

So I decided to rebuild it from zero, and make it smaller.
I forgot to make photos during the build, but basically it's the same that yesterday.

Here is the result.

Looking good so far!

spark cables and the ignition head

= spark plug wires ( or simply "plug wires" ) and distributor. That concludes the English lesson for today! Loving the details you are adding to the model. Small changes yield large results sometimes! The plug wires are a perfect example. Don't forget to add cables from that battery!

Thanks a lot for the lesson ?

Yes, there will be other cables or tubes that will be added once the motor is painted ?

Deciding if I want to purchase the USCP rally engine.  Keep up the good work Arnaud.

Here is some update in this project.

I made some painting with the red base coat on t the motor and the chassis.
I also made a black base coat on the little pieces of the chassis and the dashbord.

Then I worked a lot on the motor, with painting and added some details like cables and hoses. Stil have to connect the battery and apply a little wash to have a "used" style.

The negative part is that I'm not really satisfied with my painting skill with a paintbrush... a lot of progress to do.
