_TRF_ Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 (edited) After this body my resine mould got torn and is now useless The mould took about 15 bodies and this one is the last, so it has to be something special useless mould with last body of an Alfa Romeo 1300 GTA Junior cleaned on primed body needs some fine cleaning now Any suggestions about the design is the meantime...

Modlbldr Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Yes, here is an idea. Send it to me. That looks great. Have you done any other bodies? Later- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Irwin Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Shame about the mould, very cool car! Whats the scale? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_TRF_ Posted November 9, 2013 Author Share Posted November 9, 2013 (edited) Scale is 1/24, based on Tamiya body with widened fenders. I've done about 15 Alfa GTA's out of this mould. Other moulds i've done: Opel Commodore Coupe '70 and Ford Escort Mk1 '68 All scaled in 1/24 Opel Commodore Ford Escort Mk1 Edited November 9, 2013 by _TRF_ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossa156 Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Definitely do one with the fender painted and with 3 numeral number. Sorta like the attached car... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_TRF_ Posted November 10, 2013 Author Share Posted November 10, 2013 Maybe something like this? Alfa Romeo 'Gordini'? What do you think?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nimrod Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 How about this http://www.wettringer-modellbauforum.de/forum/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=44817 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_TRF_ Posted November 20, 2013 Author Share Posted November 20, 2013 The Alfa is already painted! I went for the original color 'Alfa Romeo Rosso Competizione', which is the color of the ALfa Romeo 8C. This color is very expensive, so it's excellent for my special Alfa Romeo GTA Junior Now i'm waiting for the decals - stay tuned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diymirage Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 you can NOT build an alfa romeo race car without the serpent and cross on the hood and IMHO it should have been bright yellow...why? let me tell you, I was 16 years old when I was working at a alfa romeo garage that did a lot of race prepping one day we got a sprint in just like this from a Belgium owner he wanted it to be as light and fast as possible so we took off the front clip, the door skins and the trunklid and had then remade in fiberglass then we added an 3.2 v6 in it and shot it bright yellow as per the customers request the customer was ecstatic when he came to pick the car up until he told us what series he wanted to race the car in...he was over 400 pounds below the minimum weight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_TRF_ Posted December 28, 2013 Author Share Posted December 28, 2013 The project finished today and i did go for a camel yellow Alfa Romeo, just like Toine Hezemans drove in the early 70ies. The car is fully Radio Controlled using a 2.4 Ghz MiniZ MR03 chassis. Hope you like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
