maysula Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Hi. This is Italeris new Alfa kit. A very good kit without major problems, just some ejection and sinkmarks to deal with. I choose to do the version that was driven by Helle Nice, a female driver from that era, I liked the color of that car ? The only modifications I did was that I molded in a rear view mirror and changed the little scoop on the hood. In the Algerian GP she used the #2 on her car so I could use the decals from the kit, I did then paint with a brush the decals with matt white so it would look hand painted as they were at that time.I have used differnt hex bolts on the engine and dashboard and rivets on the body, the seat covering is made from a wallpaper with an alcantara surface :-). Painting by Tamiya spraycan TS-15 and the lighter shade is called Ford Olympic blue, a color made for Belkits Escort MkI, thought that looked good Thomas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anglia105E Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 I am liking your build of this 1:12 Italeri Alfa Romeo very much, Thomas....... the paint colours work very well, and this model car is very realistic..... if I get around to building 1:12 scale model motor cars, this could well be the first kit that I would look at. Usually, I do like Italeri kits, which are satisfying to build in 1:24 scale. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It´s up to the modeler how much extras you want to have, there are new spoke rims out there on the market, but the kits looked good enough for me, this time ? ... I have one more in the stash.. There are rumors regarding Italeri is going to release a fender version too, thats nice ? I hope you will try the 1/12 scale sometimes, much plastic for the money ? and very satisfying to look at ? . Italeris Mefistofele and Fiat 806 is also very nice, old Protars with a little more job but looks very good in the end! Happy New Year from Sweden !
