1959scudetto Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 In 1991 I built the aggressive-looking Zagato Coupé in commission for a hobby shop owner in Vienna. He handed me over the ultra-rare, limited edition Japanese resin kit (very few heavy resin parts, metal axles, white metal wheels, vac-formed clear parts and a few photo-etched details like emblems and wipers). At the same time an Alfa Romeo dealer had this car in his showroom, and I was allowed to take a lot of color detail photos inside and out which was very helpful in detailing the model.

happy grumpy Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Another beautiful build Helmut. I always liked the front grille signature of Alpha Romeos. Nicely detailed and finished. I dig the color too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The model may be gone, but I've got a replacement: a 1/24 die-cast from the Italian Alfa Romeo Centenary collection (2010/2011) - with a little TLC and some detailing it won't look bad either - here it is as it looks like out-of-its-blister-package: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, Phil - I have a soft spot for sportscars that are different (expecially Italians). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
