Italeri

[Nick]

I still haven't gotten around to procure the 1:72 AMX - which is bordering on blasphemy considering how long I've been waiting for it to get kitted!! Embarrassing.. 

You really should hurry up. It is a lovely looking kit in the box

Italeri 1/12 Lancia Stratos has been released. 

UK price is £200-£230, it can be found a fair bit cheaper overseas. I'm tempted, only slightly though...

My first reaction was    , but then I realised the scale and how many hours enjoyment someone with an interest in model cars (not me  ) would get from it. So it's probably reasonable value, anyway it's all relative.

Put it on your Christmas List Mossie

Its quite a bit cheaper if you order from the continent,  there's one going for £135 plus £10 shipping,  and several others still a lot cheaper than Hannants and Jadlam are asking.

I'd be laughed at I put it on my Christmas list, my family firmly believe I have enough models! It have to be a present to myself, although I've got to be honest, it'd sit on the shelf.

Oooh I like the look of that.
It's huge, and stupidly expensive but its a Stratos.

The CG image is not of the car in the box art.  It's a street version rather than a rally car.  Which i'd rather build TBH.

I didn't so much see that Stratos pic as HEAR it!   

I watched a few stages of the RAC Rally in '74, I think, and the Stratos's V6 'howl' was so distinctive above the much more gruff RS Escort 4 cylinder engines. You could tell when a Stratos was coming as everyone's noses seemed to be connected by piano wire as we all turned to look.

Stratos was always my favourite Rally Car as a kid. I've got a couple really cool Dinky's from Japan of her.

I do have a big problem with the Stratos..that problem is me!!
I can't bloody fit in one comfortably...my bulk was/ is to large and it's seats are to small 😢
A most depressing situation 😕

The CG is the rally car, note the bulged
rear fenders.

And I missed the fact that the wing is on the tilted engine cover not the roof.
Driving lights might be hidden by the bodywork but I can't see a roll cage.
