Lancia Delta Integrale 2nd Safari 1990 #5 Kankkunen/Piironen 1:18 by Ixo

The 1990 Marlboro Safari Ra1ly was a particularly tough event, the wettest since 1977, and only ten cars finished from a field of .59 starters. The Lancia Delta Integrale of Juha Kankkunen and Juha Piironen came second, 38.12sec behind the winning Toyota CelicaGT-4 of veterans Bjorn Waldegard - the oldest driver to win a RAC evert, until the 2022 Monte - and his co-driver Fred Gallagher. Inconveniently, the mirror-tinted side and rear windows of Ixo's model are authentic, so you can't see much of the interior - but that hardly matters when the exterior is such a riot of colours, graphics and sponsors' decals. The white plastic wheels are a minor disappointment but overall it's a stunning model that you'll spend ages poring over, and it's very reasonably priced for a complex subject in this scale.
