1/24 Alfa Romeo 1970 Montreal

[Gramps46]

Yesterday I received the 1970 Alfa Romeo Montreal.  It is a Centenary Special Edition and is labeled both Hachette and Leo Models.  It took a couple of weeks to ship from Italy but was well worth the wait as I am very pleased with it.

A unique feature of the model is the opening rear hatch.

Congrats, Gary - this has been # 5 of the Alfa Centenary collection and is definitely one of their best:

Not familiar with the Centenary Collection but really nice! 

What scale?

Have a friend that owns the real 1:1 thing and have driven it. Beautiful.

Hi, Robert - the Centenary collection (scale 1/24) is made by Ixo and distributed by Hachette only at newsstands in Italy. It started in July 2010 (Celebrating 100 years of Alfa Romeo) and issued 30 models over a 60-week period.

10 years ago you could find every model for small money on ebay - now they have become pretty expensive and sometimes hard to find. Here is a link from a Spanish website which shows pictures of every model of the series (text is in Spanish):

Thanks Scudetto. I seem to recall that magazine subscription and the models now. Good quality and the scale size I prefer.
