_TRF_ Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 (edited) Hi, my Name is Michael and i'm a great Alfa Romeo Fan. I always dreamt of a model of the Alfa Romeo 159 SW ti, which is the most sportive looking Alfa Romeo 159. The car got a sport suspension, side panels, 19" rims, Brembo braking system and many other parts the standard Alfa doesn't have. I was looking for the model a long time, but the only model released was the 1/18 version from Mondo Motors, which does not look very sportive. original Alfa Romeo 159 SW and thats the result: I disassemled the model, removed the laquer, cleaned the holes, crafted the side panels, fitted it for the sport suspension, tooks scale looking ti-rims and Fitted a Brembo braking system Hope you like it Edited November 5, 2013 by _TRF_ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
