Lancia D20 Le Mans/Targa Florio 1953 1:24 by Profil 24
After strong showings on the Mille Miglia and Targa Florio, Lancia presented four examples of the D20 coupe at Le Mans but all suffered engine problems. The decals in the kit offer the choice of any of the Le Mans cars or the Targa Florio winner and whichever you choose will require a two-tone paint finish in dark blue and cream for the main body. The bonnet scoops will also need painting for most versions and the colours for these are listed in the instructions. The overall shape of the car looks good and the castings will need just a little flash removing. The wheels are in kit form with machined rims, cast hubs and etched spokes and the photo-etch also includes numerous small fittings along with a choice of radiator grilles, either assembled from several parts slotted together or a much simpler one-piece item.
