  We extend a covariant model, tested before in the spacelike region for the
physical and lattice QCD regimes, to a calculation of the gamma* N -> Delta
reaction in the timelike region, where the square of the transfered momentum,
q^2, is positive (q^2>0). We estimate the Dalitz decay Delta -> Ne+e- and the
Delta distribution mass distribution function. The results presented here can
be used to simulate the NN -> NNe+e- reactions at moderate beam kinetic
energies.
