Hi all
Presently, I'm going for the Alitalia scheme for my LB build in around 12 months. However, I would like to see all the variations of the Gp4 cars, Any suggestions for comprehensive sources ? I do have the 40 years sheet that was posted on FB, but obviously the images are a bit small to get a good idea.
Thanks
The 40 year book shows just about every period rally car colour scheme.Quote:

There were many ERC Stratos colour schemes back in the day, but the bulk of them are unaccomplished, and horrible.
The works and larger team colour schemes looked the best, because someone was paid to design them.
Three pages of other livery's here to look at

The Aseptogyl scheme really shouldn't work. On paper white red and pink seems wrong but having seen Andy's (Ducatiman) I can tell you that is really does work!
Two of the other colour schemes that I had considered that nobody else has done yet................

I'm waiting for someone to do the BIC scheme - I've got a 1/18th model of that car for them - serial number 1 from the manufacturer. Maybe I should do build 2 in that scheme... Wrong body shape.
There is one (non SEC) Hawk in Le Point colours. The one with the door window and door handle mods:

No Stratos replica in L'EQUIPE yet, or BIC.
Ken Tomblin's is similar to L'Equipe, n'est pas?
Be brave !!

Here's a rare one. JETFIL, white with silver:

The RENO FABBRI is the probably the best of those, but it's not a rally car.Quote:

I quite like the Mausoli/Messina one below - in the same vein as the Alitalia but a bit more asymmetric ! (nice collection - Phil!)
Check out this French forum to see hundreds of WRC and ERC photos

Like Chris says Alitalia has been done to death. It's still THE livery though.
And there wasn't one on the stand at Stoneleigh this year......
Club stand that is.
It's great to see different liveries being done, so many to choose from. Both the Albarella and Robin's scheme on the lb stand at the weekend looked really good and it was great to see such variation on the club stand.
I did consider a blue and yellow one off scheme many years ago, in the style of a hydro aluminium group c car.
You're not limited to just original Stratos liveries, maybe try something completely different?!
Liveries that never where?Quote:

I ended up using it for RSD's corporate colour scheme. It's yellow black and white. On a Stratos, it would have been as if a works car had Agip as the main sponsor.
