Hi Edouard👋😀👍.
Yes l just get cheap ones of eBay, the do different sizes, you can pull ends n spring out for barrel look, or file ends last to have a recoil cannon look.
The gun turret nearly there now....lots of sanding n filling low spot.
Thanks for looking in on build.👍👍

I'm very curious to see the result. I built this model as a young boy too.

Hi Zbynek 👋🙂👍.
Thanks for your interest. Nice to know you had it too, l built X3 the Tu airliner and the bomber. But this was my favourite as l liked the shape and that it had floats n guns.
Got part of tail on this evening.
Keep looking in for updates 😃👍👍

Good to have you along Guy 👋😃.
Bit of fine sanding n tidying to do next then look at getting an engine effect in cowling area.
I replaced side vent for smaller one now, checked photos... and l made it way to big.
Catch you on the next steps.

Hey Mr D whats the Gorilla Glue like? Is it a clear PVA or a resin Super Glue Type? Do you use it just for clear bits or as n all purpose? Thanks in advance E.

Hi, it dries 100% clear but is slow.. to air dry ..so leave overnight.
But it's worth it as very strong. And is very neutral on paint and clear parts.
It's almost like an air drying epoxy, not harsh like super glue or poli ...very safe.
I only use it on clear stuff as it's stronger than PVA but not good for general building.. l do use it to fill gaps sometimes.

Don't think I'd trust those decals. The red stars are easy enough to replace or paint on, the bort numbers might be more of a challenge.

Hi Edouard 👋..yes 🤣 lm on 12 model with it and never had anything come loose.

tried the decals. They don't release from the paper, and are very fragile. I couldn't salvage this one, so this is going...

Oh, that is a very old kit. I have built a newer edition. Not sure, if the plastic parts was identical tool. The PE sheet was bigger.

I know, I have seen your great build. This one will also be a Collinshaw's "black maria" with decals borrowed from a Camel.
I got this one from a guy in Switzerland, with my luck Eduard will retool it after I am done with this and sell it for half the price I paid for this one.
The detail looks acceptable, but I will have to do some improvements (aileron check windows, machine gun, cockpit, etc). The plastic quality is not great, but decals are impeccable.

I've occasionally had luck with painting "microscale liquid decal film" on before using old decals. For the tail you can mask and paint the stripes pretty easily, I'd do the whole tail white and then do the red and blue. In the case where replacement decals cannot be obtained I've had luck scanning them and sending the scan to these folks: stsdecals.com/
I'm also going to try making my own decals for a project soon.
Anyway, as someone who builds old kits, the decal problem is one very familiar to me. Good luck!

yeah, I can easily paint the tail stripes, but the problem still persists on the roundels. Anyway, thanks for the great tip, you never know when you need custom decals

That is very nice. It's good to see an unusual subject like this. I think I had a Matchbox car very similar to that.

@George, thanks! Concept car from the late 60s. Always been one of my favorite concepts.
@David, I know Hot Wheels did a version in 1970 and Matchbox did one in 1971. Pretty sure I had the Matchbox version as well at some point.

@Alexander, I have been buying the SMP24 kits for about 4 years now. It was not easy to find or purchase them in the beginning but I have been a pretty consistant purchaser since. I am not sure how many actually get out of Japan or Asia for that matter. Definately not easy or inexspensive to obtain.
@Christian, thanks! I am also a big fan of this era of prototypes, most concepts from the 70s though the 90s I felt really captured what it meant to create really wild and intersting concepts.

@shadowlight You can watch the full build of the kit on my YouTube channel and see what it consists of. I don't do a lot of resin so I don't have much to compare it to but I find the resin to be a little soft so things like scribing are difficult for me when I am so used to doing it with plastic. The interior is beyond detailed with so many tiny photoetch pieces it is amazing, as it is with many of their kits. The engines in the SMP kits I find are always bitter sweet. They have fantastic detail for the parts that are included but I also feel they are a little simplified and ccould use a few more extra bits to them just to detail them up a little more. All SMP kits come with great photo etch parts and a level of details that is beyond my expectations. Just understand this is a garage kit and more in line with something you may 3d print rather than building a Tamiya or other styrene kit. A lot of the parts can benefit from pins to hold better and you have to decide if you want to go through all that yourself. I love the two SMP kits I have built so far and I have several more of them that I am eager to get into as well. I really enjoy building them.

@MrD You wouldn't believe it, but I saw a Lancia Stratos yesterday while driving just outside Pukekohe, New Zealand. I don't know whether it was the real thing or a replica, but it looked fantastic anyway. Not exactly what you expect to see while driving around rural New Zealand.

- how you have ordered and communicated? Using google translate on their website and using the Mail-form included in their site only japanese letters seemed to be allowed...
An congratulations that you got one of these - there already sold out 😭((

David Orr,
Yes there is a Lancia specialist in NZ, he is one of the world's leading restoration guys and builds Replica ones too with Alfa Buso V6 engine's....so I'm not surprised.
I think the stratos looks like a Miura....shrunk in the wash.... Another Gandini great.
