Story of Lancia Delta begins in 1979, when Giorgetto Giugiaro designed first factory model. In 1986 Lancia produced first 4WD, with turbo-charger and engine that gave out 165 BHP. Later it evolved to the final version, Evoluzione II, with 215 BHP

A short list of achievements: 6 consecutive World Rally Championships from 1987 to 1992, with 46 WRC victories, bringing Juha Kankkunen and Massimo Biasion to the WRC podium...
Now, this was a road car (the most beautiful one, me thinks

Lancia Delta Integrale - Italeri 1/24
Off to the kit: this one is classic Italeri, alas lacking engine and brakes detail, and with lots of flash and mould seams everywhere...

This got me into some serious sanding before even touching paints or glue...

They have also made some errors in painting instructions, but there is plenty of reference pictures on the web - that shouldn't be a problem. On the positive side: decals are beautiful, and I'll consider this a OOB build, without much bothering...
