Lancia Flaminia: Complete (#1 for 2022)

Not a bad kit, but still a bit problematic, especially the taillights. I could probably improve these; currently the finish is bare metal foil.




The Gran Turismo class is indeed classy, at least in the late 50s into the early 60s. Subtle shapes and two (or maybe 2+2) seating, combined with high performance bits. The Lancia (2.8 litre V6) was probably a bit cheaper than either the Maserati (3.5 litre six) or the Ferrari (3 litre V12), but it did come with a transaxle and de Dion tube, with optional disc brakes in the later years. Alfa had the 2600, which was likely comparable; this Giulia will have to do as I don't know of any kits of the 2600. 


What's next? Hard to say. Stay tuned!
