Hi all! New project. Hasegawa Lancia Stratos "1981 Rally Race". Limited edition. Rally team Rotmans, pilots de Bagration Jorge - Sabater Victor, Rally Shalimar 5. 12. – 6. 12. 1981, Madrid, road surface - asphalt, winner. Lancia Stratos HF (high fidelity) is a car considered to be the first in the world, originally created to participate in the rally. The production of 400 cars required for homologation in Group 4 was started in 1973, and Stratos became homologated for participation in the World Rally Championship since 1974 (Protocol No. 640 of 01.10.1974). The Ferrari Dino V6 engine was installed on the car. The first participation in competitions on the model took place on November 4, 1972 at the Corsica Rally (French Tour de Corse). During the 1972 and 1973 seasons, Lancia Stratos HF participated in rally races as part of Group 5 (prototypes), and from October 1, 1974 — in Group 4 (production prepared cars). The first victory on the model was won at the Spanish Firestone Rally, a stage of the European Championship, in April 1973. For racing, the engine was tuned to 280 hp (209 kW), and with the KKK turbocharger, the power reached 560 hp (418 kW). However, turbocharged engines were only allowed to participate in Group 5, and were never as reliable as their atmospheric versions. In the middle of 1974, 24-valve cylinder heads (270 hp) were installed on some of the cars. In 1975, the power of the 12-valve version of the engine was increased to 260 hp, and the 24-valve version of the engine to 305 hp. Piloting Lancia Stratos, Sandro Munari and Bjorn Waldegaard won numerous races in 1974, 1975 and 1976, contributing greatly to Lancia's final victories in these seasons of the World Rally Championship in the mark standings. Perhaps the winning streak could have continued, but the Fiat group, for economic and strategic reasons, decided to promote the sports version of the Fiat 131 Abarth of the conventional Fiat 131 production passenger car[4]. Without the support of Fiat, and despite the new rules that limited the engine power to 275 liters. S., the car remained a serious competitor until 1981, when the Corsica Rally was won by private racer Bernard Darnish (he also won this race on Stratos in 1975 and 1979) Photo of the kit from the website www.super-hobby.com           |

It’s one thing to build a model that looks this good …..but another thing altogether when it’s turned out this quickly. Simply unbelievably good outcome. The dust/dirt effects make an already good looking car just that much more authentic.

Many thanks to Joe and John. Joe, you know that some models are very difficult to build.... others are very easy and simple. Besides, I currently have the ability to build quickly.
