About the Lancia Delta HF 4WD #4 M. Alen / I. Kivimaki Martini Rally 1000 Lakes 1987 Kyosho 1:18

TL;DR: Kyosho's 1:18 diecast Lancia Delta HF 4WD reproduces Markku Alén and Ilkka Kivimäki's number 4 Martini-liveried entry from the 1987 1000 Lakes Rally, contested over Finland's fast gravel roads during Group A's first WRC season. Opening doors and bonnet reveal a stripped rally cabin. A works-team centrepiece for a Nordic rally collection.

Finland's 1000 Lakes Rally rewarded a different kind of car to Monte Carlo's tarmac hairpins, and Alén's fast, gravel-honed driving style suited it perfectly. Kyosho's diecast captures his number 4 Martini Delta HF 4WD exactly as it ran that event.

Kyosho's Livery Work on a Second Martini Entry

Martini Graphics and Number 4 Positioning

Alén's car carried the same Martini colours as Lancia's other 1987 works entries, but the number 4 door graphics and sponsor placement sit in their own correct positions rather than simply repeating another crew's layout, a distinction worth checking on any diecast claiming to reproduce a specific car rather than a generic livery. Kyosho keeps the stripe widths consistent with the marque's other Delta HF 4WD models, which matters for anyone building a themed run of several 1987 liveries side by side, since inconsistency between models from the same range is far more noticeable than a single car viewed alone.

Rally-Spec Panels Built for Gravel and Jumps

The flared arches and underbody protection correctly reflect a car set up for Finland's fast, undulating gravel roads rather than tarmac, and the doors and bonnet open on secure hinges to reveal the same stripped, function-first cabin found across the works Delta HF 4WD entries: roll cage, bucket seats, and a dashboard cleared of anything not essential to the crew's job of reading the road at speed.

Alén, Kivimäki and the 1000 Lakes Challenge

A Different Test to Monte Carlo's Tarmac

Where Monte Carlo tested a crew on ice, snow and tarmac hairpins, Finland's 1000 Lakes Rally demanded speed and commitment over fast gravel roads punctuated by blind crests and jumps, a discipline Markku Alén, a Finnish driver racing on home roads, was particularly associated with throughout his career. Alén and his long-time co-driver Ilkka Kivimäki formed one of Lancia's established works pairings during the Delta HF 4WD's Group A debut season, part of the wider works effort that carried the manufacturers' title in 1987.

A Nordic Rally Entry Beside Its Works Stablemates

Building a Multi-Event 1987 Season Shelf

Displayed alongside a Monte Carlo or other 1987 Martini entry, this 1000 Lakes car shows how one works team fielded multiple crews across very different terrain within a single season, a more complete story than any single livery tells on its own. At roughly 21 centimetres, it shares its footprint with the rest of the range, keeping a themed row visually consistent regardless of which event each car represents.

Diecast Durability Across a Themed Rally Collection

Diecast Durability for a Frequently Handled Theme

A themed rally collection tends to get handled and rearranged more than a single showcase piece, so hinge durability on the doors and bonnet matters over years of ownership. Kyosho's metal hinges hold their positions without loosening on repeated use, and the diecast body's weight offers a straightforward, reliable way to judge build quality against a lighter casting sold at a similar price point.

Comparing Alén's Livery Against Biasion's

Set beside Biasion and Siviero's Monte Carlo car, Alén and Kivimäki's 1000 Lakes entry highlights how identical base livery still carries individual car numbers and subtle positioning differences that reward close comparison. Building both into a collection turns a simple livery purchase into a small study of how one works team organised its identity across an entire season.
