Lancia 037 Rallye Martini
Scale: 1:43

Another model in this small scale. I have already glued one Lancia 037, this one is in more familiar colors. This Lancia 037 won the 1983 Monte Carlo Rally thanks to driver Walter Röhrl and co-driver Christian Geistdörfer with the iconic Martini design. It was a breakthrough victory for the rear-wheel drive against stronger competition with all-wheel drive (Audi Quattro)
I modified the model - the high cabin didn't suit me, so I lowered it by 2 mm, it's not ideal, but it's probably closer to reality... other modifications - modified grille with recessed lights (also the rear part), slightly modified wheels, modified light bar, I added a pad and I made the car dirty. For comparison, I'm adding a photo of both Lancia cars and also a photo of both cars of the Walter Röhrl/Christian Geistdörfer duo (Fiat and Lancia). A few photos:

Who doesn't love a Lotus? Those Lancia's are getting close to a million bucks each now. Not they were ever inexpensive, they made so few. Mike you models came out great!!

FIAT 126 CC ZERO
Scale: 1:18
Author: M.Jambor, Ľ.Matuška
A few words about the real car:
Year of Manufacture: 1994
Number of units produced: 21
The kit car was produced by the English company CarCraft in the UK in two generations, Mk1 and Mk2. The Mk2 model was practically identical to the Mk1. The Mk2 model used different turn signals, a facelifted rear end and a modified front window frame, and the frame behind the driver was removed. Both types use all mechanical parts from the Fiat 126. The bodywork is made of a steel frame wrapped in aluminum sheet metal in combination with fiberglass parts.
Model:
The second and unfortunately the last model from Matuška paper models (I saw a series of cars that they actually made - Matuška Collection and those would be other interesting models). After the formula they released this nice variation on the Lotus 7. The model came out on glossy paper, which I would probably have a hard time sticking, so I'm sticking a copy printed on matte paper again. For now the body is glued, I will make adjustments continuously...so far I've added a radiator mesh and a glazed and modified speedometer...Current status:

You are off to a great start with this project. I am looking forward to seeing how it turns out.
