I've been on the lookout for one these SCX Fiat's for some time. This one was NOS boxed - and still sealed with SCX branded adhesive tape! It makes the perfect companion for my (race prepared) Revell NSU 1000TT, which had been run a few times pre-Covid at the Bury St Edmunds club.
Just got to love the quirkiness - and some positive comments found during background research, such as "One of the best cars SCX has ever released..what a blast on the track! .... very pretty. They really make you smile..." just confirmed the 'need' to get one for the pit box.
Not yet tried on track - but it will be

Does a second hand body from eBay count?
Converting this:
into this:
Less of a 'Beast' but certainly makes it easier to see on the track

This was a
really lucky find.
After a successful eBay bid on a Ninco Megane Lightning 'parts car' - I was just after the rolling chassis to upgrade another Megane - I asked the seller if he had any other cars he might be parting with. In reply I received a photo of the Kinesport Megane on a Ninco 1 chassis, one I already have - and this Gordon Beers car, which I'd never seen before. A bit of research showed it too was released in the N1 format but he had upgraded his with the Lightning A/W chassis, a combination I couldn't resist.
A deal was struck and the Gordon Beers and parts car arrived in the same parcel - and this one is absolutely stunning

Team-Slot Lancia Delta HF 4WD, being the 1987 Rallye Montecarlo winner driven by Miki Biasion. Have been waiting for this for many months. A while ago, Time Tunnel Models asked if I wanted to cancel the order but I had heard from Staffs that they would "definitley" be released.
I got the call yesterday :-)

Point of order !!
The HF 4WD is not identified as an integrale. The versions known as integrale have extended wheel arches. The HF 4WD was effectively the planned production version of the Delta. It got pressed into WRC service when Group B got banned and then morphed into the homologation specials.

Leo are you sure you are correct?
The road going Lancia was always known as the Integrale?
