Hasegawa 1/24 Lancia Stratos HF "1977 Monte Carlo Rally Winner"
This Stratos in Alitalia color was one of the cars that I wanted to finish someday.
The rear fenders have been modified to smooth lines with no seams, and catch pins and antennas have been replaced.
The Alitalia colors were painted with masking using a copy of the decal as a stencil.

Wow Dagored - amazing job on this, I did the Italeri version earlier this year and it is an amazing car and an awesome build. I can't believe you painted on the Alitalia colours, that is incredible and looks perfect. I love the catch pins you added - how did you do that?
An absolutely fantastic job.

Painting the Alitalia colors was a challenge, but the result was well worth the effort. The catch pin was replaced with a commercially available etched part.

Fantastic car, Dagored @dagored
You did great on applying those colors, much better than using decals.

Thank you, I think the Alitalia color paint job turned out to be worth the effort.

I used to work for Walter Landor Assoc., the design shop that came up with that Alitalia logo and the colors.
Nice work on this. "It looks real."

I think the Alitalia colored Stratos is one of the most impressive racing cars. I admire the store that produced that wonderful design.

@dagored, your Stratos turned out so well! They were my favorite rally racer of all time and just a true bad-assed car! Great looking model sir! 😊

I don't think there is any other car that is as rally worthy as the Stratos. I would like to finish another version of the Stratos as well.
