Re: Fiat 131 Abarth Rally

I builded that one many years ago, I remember the valve cover being too high to clear under the strut tower brace, be careful while in this area of the build....

Just an excellent subject, and it's coming along nicely! The 70s was so great for rally cars.

Re: Fiat 131 Abarth Rally

Great job with the decals, they look to be a very good fit.
From the previous example photo of one of these kits it looks like the tarmac version could do with the suspension being lowered a little and it would look more aggressive.

What do you think?

Re: Fiat 131 Abarth Rally

This Italeri kit is made using the molds that Italeri bought by Esci many years ago. By the way, I think it's a nice kit for its era:
