Finally received the windscreen in the mail, which I wanted to try out in my Lancia Stratos MOC. I find 4-wide windscreens to slim. This 6-wide windscreen has the right shape, but is a little bit too wide. 5-wide would be the solution... Unfortunately this time no side-by-side-seating for two, which I otherwise made the principle of my MOCs. The front was constructed in the same technique as in my Renault 5 in order to minimize the step that usually exists between the 1x1 slopes and the 1x2 slopes. Wheel sizing is authentic in scale, I think, as the differently sized mudguards. Minimal sticker use on the roof.
The livery is the one of the Stratos driven by Walter Röhrl and co-driver Christian Geistdörfer in 1978 with sponsors Pirelli and Rodenstock. Other pilots of the Stratos in this Pirelli livery were Markku Alén, Giorgio Pianta and Ilkka Kivimäki.

I have long been annoyed about how the 1x1 slopes will never add on smoothly to each other and on to other slopes. Many sports cars and micro-scale roofs have this unwanted step, which I have always found unfortunate. So I made a hidden building technique using brackets, nozzles and rounded 1x2 plates with hollow studs. These combined elements attach the front to the car, a Lancia Stratos, in a smooth way. Revealed in the next picture... In case someone has also discovered this building technique, please share your MOCs using it. In case you adapt this technique from me, it would be nice if you "cite" me. Thanks!
