mitchell Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 working on another historic car from tamiya, this time a Alfa GTA. I love old alfa and this kit is also a gem. Build one before. But this time, more details to it. Working under the hood today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchell Posted June 22, 2013 Author Share Posted June 22, 2013 (edited) getting most of the car slowly put together. Lots of wiring done under the hood and finish the interior. Painted the dash and steering into wood color. Since the engine lid of the car is forward, I have to trim the hinges a bit to make it open wider and i also made a proper hood prop, since the it will not stay open. This kit is so accurate that the tolerance in the window and the chassis is spot on, Since I got about 4 layer of paint on the car plus the BMF on, the window doesn't fit properly therefore causing a window to crack. My solution is to cut another window and make it open. Not the best solution but still work. Here are few more picture of the progress.
