1:24 Integrale HF Recaro Sport Seats

The real subject

The Delta HF Integrale is the sharp version of an Italian hatchback, made famous by rally specials, which even in road form kept its all-wheel drive, its wide fenders and an interior tuned for sport. The Recaro seats with their raised side bolsters, which the car wore in this form, belong with it. On a model they are clearly visible: in 1:24 scale the cabin is roomy and a viewer looks into it through the open windows before he notices the engine.

What the set offers

The set brings a pair of front sport seats in 1:24 scale as a replacement for the parts from the kit. A kit seat tends to be simplified, with soft edges and a merged shape; a separately produced part keeps crisper transitions between the bolsters and the cushion.

Building and painting tips

Cut the excess material away with a sharp blade a little from the part and sand the remainder down, above all on the underside, so that the seat sits on the floor without rocking. Wash and degrease the parts before painting and choose the glue according to the material; a cyanoacrylate type will serve universally. Try a seat dry in the cabin before gluing it in, because a separate part tends to be slightly larger than the kit one. A matte shade with a faint light dry brush on the edges will bring the fabric out, while the leather parts call for a semi-gloss instead.

Who it is for

For builders of automobile models in 1:24 scale who want the interior up to the level of the bodywork. Paints and glue are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
