Solido Lancia Flamina No 121 restoration. Toy cast model.

This is the world's first die-cast model with opening doors. Lancia Flamina by the French company Solido year 1961. I bought this model at a flea market and liked it very much right away. It has great spring suspension and is very well made. My model was missing the roof pillars, which I reconstructed and glued in using cyanoacrylate glue. I also reconditioned the tyres, which were in very good condition for being over 60 years old. I had a lot of trouble making the box, as it was difficult to find pictures of the original Solido boxes in good resolution on the internet. In the end I was able to assemble the mesh in a graphics program and a 1960s box was created. I thank you for watching the video, I publish car repair videos on Tuesdays and Saturdays. In the video you can include subtitles in your language with commentary on the activity - press the letter C on your keyboard or three dots on your mobile phone.

Czy teraz nadal jestem przy stole warsztatowym Pawła...?
Albo w warsztacie samochodowym, gdzie odbudowywany jest rozbity samochód...? 🤔🤣
Świetna robota, Lancia znów wygląda jak nowa (a nawet lepiej) 🤩
A (współczesny, wielowarstwowy) czerwony metaliczny lakier to lukier na torcie.
Solido (czy Verem) to były zawsze wykwintne modele. (Sam posiadam kilka Solido/Verem Ford Capri RS 2600s).
Paweł, cóż mogę powiedzieć... Jestem zachwycony, zdecydowanie oba kciuki w górę ode mnie za ten 👍🏼👍🏼
Dzięki za podzielenie się 🙏🏼
Miłego tygodnia dla Ciebie i Twojej rodziny i pozostań bezpieczny i zdrowy.
Keep up the good work, my friend 😃
Pozdrowienia od die-cast crazy starego Pawła nad Morzem Północnym.
😎🛠️🚘👍🏼🇵🇱✌🏼🇩🇪👍🏼🤠
Am I still at Paul's workbench now...?
Or in a car workshop where a crashed car is being rebuilt...? 🤔🤣
Excellent work, the Lancia looks like new again (or even better) 🤩
And the (contemporary, multi-coat) red metallic paint is the icing on the cake.
Solido (or Verem) were always exquisite models. (Own several Solido/Verem Ford Capri RS 2600s myself).
Paul, what can I say... I'm thrilled, clearly both thumbs up from me for this 👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks so much for sharing 🙏🏼
Have a great week to you and your family and stay safe and sound.
Keep up the good work, mate 😃
Greetings from die-cast crazy old Paul on the North Sea.
😎🛠️🚘👍🏼🇵🇱✌🏼🇩🇪👍🏼🤠
Bin ich jetzt noch bei Paul auf der Werkbank...
Oder in einer Autowerkstatt, wo gerade ein Unfallwagen wieder aufgebaut wird...? 🤔🤣
Exzellente Arbeit, der Lancia sieht wieder wie neu aus (oder sogar noch besser) 🤩
Und die (zeitgemäß, mehrschichtige) rote Metalliclackierung ist das Tüpfelchen auf dem I.
Solido (oder Verem) waren immer exquisite Modelle. (Besitze selbst mehrere Ford Capri RS 2600 von Solido/Verem)
Paul, was soll ich sagen... Ich bin begeistert, von mir ganz klar beide Daumen hoch dafür 👍🏼👍🏼
Vielen Dank fürs teilen 🙏🏼
Dir und Deiner Familie noch eine schöne Woche und bleibt gesund und munter.
Mach weiter so, mein Freund 😃
Gruß vom Die-cast-verrückten alten Paul an der Nordsee.

Very nice , the original car was very élégant and the corgi model captured perfectly its lines , not far from a Austin Cambridge or a Peugeot 404 but more élégant with the italian désigner touch ...

[@patsematary]

"Not far " 😂 Pininfarina made two concept car named Florida, the 1957 was a coupè and Farina personal car . many stylistic features of those two concept cars were applied to the cars of that era.

Salve Galerinha Amiga Do Canal ! 😮 Caramba !!!!! Que Coisa Hein , Aqui No BR Tinha Um Veículo
Semelhante A Esse Da Restauração,
Aero Willys é um automóvel sedan que foi fabricado pela Willys Overland do Brasil entre 1960 e 1971. Seu lançamento ocorreu em 25 de março de 1960, mas seu projeto vinha sendo discutido pela montadora brasileira desde 1958.
O Aero Willys herdou o projeto americano que foi desativado por insucesso. Lá as versões desse automóvel eram conhecidas como "Aero-Ace", "Aero-Eagle", "Aero-Wing", "Bermuda" (um cupê duas portas), todos fabricados pela Willys Overland dos EUA, com os componentes mecânicos do Jeep Willys.

I would've made the interior charcoal grey, with the inner lined seat cushions the color of the exterior. You're obviously not into deep detailing the interior. I like the end result of your efforts!

Do you save the molds you make for the different tires and figures and such. Or are they a one and some type of thing. And what started you on this hobby?

[@PaulRestorer]

Of course it keeps its shape. some I've used over 30 times and they still do their job well. It seems to me that the inspiration for my hobby are the times of my childhood, when cast models of Western brands were very unavailable in Poland. Kind regards

[@KLOSTER777]

Hi Paul , the text appearing at the begining of the video says Lancia Flavia of 1961 and the subtile says Flamina .

[@300e24v]

Lovely job as usual but you didn't paint the door shuts...!!!??

[@PaulRestorer]

Thank you very much . if I painted the door from the inside, they wouldn't close. solido makes terribly accurate parts and leaves no room for additional paint at all.

[@patsematary]

Questa Flaminia Coupè ( con la i...) è un modello davvero elegante e ben fatto.
La rugosità di cofano e tetto però sembra un principio di peste dello zamak , un fenomeno di auto-corrosione del metallo pressofuso più antico. Tienila d'occhio. Piacerebbe vedere anche le iscrizioni e il dettaglio del sottoscocca .Il problema di cambiare colore arbitrariamente è che poi hai degli interni non più coerenti .

Grazie mille
