Matt Bacon Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 That’s the current DBS Superleggera... the older ones are just DBS’s. I’ve always wondered about those Alpha Models resin kits... the breakdown looks very similar to what you get if you take a die cast apart: and I wonder if the masters start life that way and they are adapted the way some of our community do to “accursed” die casts when there’s no plastic kit to be had. If I knew how to cast resin successfully, I’d be doing the same with the Alfa Montreal I have in pieces on the shelf! best, M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only "downside" is that the model is a Right Hand Drive only. And, yes, the Alpha Kits are, to me, sort of diecast like resin, but do have some finer detail. Would love it if they would do detailed chassis and engine bays, but it is what it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clipper57 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Is there any special prep need on the resin body before starting painting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beeRS Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 The casting quality of this Alpha kit looks really good. I’m looking forward to seeing this come together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Preparation for painting 1: Polish the whole car shell 2:Cover the areas that don't need painting with masking paper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
