    if you are looking for 1/24 lancia delta, i suggest you hasegawa kits. also they are PE included for seatbelts and hood bolts.
    i already have this kit; it is superb kit. i will building that kit soon


    i also built italeri delta and it is terrible

        Terrific looking Toyota Graham the 2k top coat which one did you use as I've not yet managed to achieve a showroom high sheen smooth finish like yours. I've been told Tamiya clear give decent results but yet to try it as it's "hot" and maybe burns through decals. Cheers John

          A great result Graham, she looks really good. You've gotta love the Castrol colours, probably the best works team livery IMHO.

            I used the Zero paints one John. It is actually three parts. Clear, Hardener and Thinner. I am a bit concerned about the safety issues around this as you are spraying a plastic in effect which 'gasses off' as it cures so needs careful handling and good extraction plus mask.

            It is a 'hot' product and they recommend a light dusting over decals to seal them followed by a slightly heavier coat after a few minutes and then a wet coat which gives the shine. This is the nervy bit as the second coat may be orange peel looking, it is that wet coat that 'melts' the previous coat and gives the great finish.

            It may have been beginners luck but, although not perfect, I am really happy with what I ended up with. I have never achieved a finish like this with anything else.

              Cheers Patrick, they certainly don't leave you in doubt who the main sponsor is lol.

                That looks great Graham, I don' envy you with all the decals. I spent half an hour yesterday fighting with tiny decals for the dials on a dashboard.

                                Just come across this one Grahan, looks a sweet ride ( model ) an excellant build and perfection in finish
                                I've not really ever done a rally car / car as such but this is looking tempting to try

                                Kind regards
