1959scudetto

One of Giorgietto Giugiaro's design masterpieces when working for Bertone is the Giulia Sprint GT from 1963 - soon other variations followed. Ixo made some nice 1/24 diecast models which were issued under different names such as Leo models (Quattroruote), Metro/Fabbri, Hachette in different series and colors: The 1966 Alfa Romeo Giulia GT 1300 junior was first released in the Quattroruote series (rosso Alfa = red, best details), then in the Alfa Centenario collection (Giallo ochra = mustard yellow) and finally in the 1/24 Auto Vintage de luxe collection (bianco spino = white) . Also in the Alfa Romeo Centenario Collection the legendary 1965 Giulia Sprint 1600 GTA was offered in Rosso Corsa (with all the correct details - wheels, tires, interior, grille and scudetto): With the additon of a few decals you can easily turn this one into a period-correct racecar: Everything opens, the details are very well done - excellent 1/24 models of a truly Alfa Romeo icon = must haves for all fans of the marque !

Came out great - I see Jan Michael Vincent rolling down the highway...

Goal achieved - 100 % ! Very nice model !

Thanks, Scott !

Excellent model, Brian - this is definitely my favourite truck model of the year !

2 years ago I acquired a bunch of builtup kits mainly for parts - among them was this ultra-rare ESCI Montecarlo turbo kit - at first glance it looked almost complete and I ordered some decals for the 1980 DRM (= Deutsche Rennsport Meisterschaft/German Racing Championship) winning car of former European touring car champion Hans Heyer, beating Hans Joachim Stuck in his BMW 320 turbo for the title. This is the original kit (internet picture) This arrived per mail: When I found out that several parts were missing, I went for a curbside and glued the engine cover shut. Missing parts like mirrors, wheel hubs and wiper came from the parts box, wheels and glass were intact. After disassembling and stripping the paint, it was sprayed with Tamiya TS10 French Blue. I added wire mesh in front of the rear wheels, the wing supports and in the back above the exhaust pipes. Front spoiler struts and tow hook were made from steel wire, Dzus fasteners came from a MCG photo-etched sheet, decals from Patto's place and Sam's diecast art. This is the final result:

Nice collection, Gary - I have the Alfa and I'm thinking about the 356 Porsche... The two Jeepsters look good, too.

I think this is a great product (especially for my non-plated resin kit bumpers) - here I have used it for some 3D printed spoke wheels from Jack modelling (presented in the Car Aftermarket section): no preparation at all, no primer, nothing! Just sprayed from the can (I have NO airbrush) directly onto the parts (description below the picture): LEFT: Spinners : Revell Chrome CENTER: Borrani spokewheels and spinners : Revell Chrome RIGHT: Borranis : Revell Chrome – with 2 light shots of Tamiya clear smoke overspray (next day)

Stay cool, Tom - this will come out great as always - nothing wrong with a single exhaust on a fleet truck.

Looks awesome, Brian - is this a transkit for the old amt Ford Cabover or a scratch-built conversion?

This is one fantastic looking musclecar - wheels, tires, stance and paint: PERFECT !

Very nice looking model with great details - a fine tribute to "Prince Charming" Francois Cevert.

Absolutely top class model, Pierre ! I've been following your WIP all along - I will be looking for other modeling subjects for a while - this GTO can hardly be topped.

Here is his ebay-store: https://www.ebay.de/str/jackmodelling?_trksid=p4429486.m3561.l2563 The Alfa Romeo 1900 wheels are not (yet?) in his store, but you can order by e-mail directly: contact.jackmodelling@gmail.com

The Revell plastic reissue shows exactly the same parting lines...

Wonderful build of this iconic sportscar, Mario - your photo backgrounds are always the icing on the cake.

In the mail today from Jack modelling: 1/24 scale custom-made 3D-printed resin wheels for the Alfa Romeo 1900 from the Centenario Collection - together with Scale Designs excellent decals you have everything you need to turn these into 1954 Carrera Panamericana participants (the steel wheels come with seperate hubs):

Another one of my holy racecar grails: the 1969 Nürburgring 1000 km Jo Bonnier/Herbert Müller Lola T70 Mk IIIB. I know this is a slotracer, but it has a near perfect body and will be turned into a static display model.

This looks great, Pierre - a bit disappointing is the lack of detail on the upper side of the gearbox (short cut fromFujimi) but this is going to be hidden under the floor anyway and cannot be seen when when everything is put together - the underside looks good: Everything here shows the right amount of use.

Sam diecast art from Italy offers a lot of decals for Bburago, politoys and other diecast models -maybe you find here what you're looking for: https://www.ebay.it/str/samdiecastshop?_pgn=6

John, this is an excellent model of the best-looking "forward look" Virgil Exner-designed cars - the metallic green paint is awesome - best choice !

Kurt, just scroll up to the start of this topic - I have mentioned the dimensions inner and outer diameter and width of the tires .

Very impressive Carolina fleet - awesome trucks !

Pierre, I think you matched the desired color quite well. This is the problem with pictures from back in the day: they show the details (if they are of good quality), but they are either black and white or the colors look different on every picture depending on the lighting situation - additionally some may have bleached out over time, colors have faded or altered. So the best way is to rely on your feelings and find a good compromise (Pictures of restored race cars do not always sport the correct color)

Jason offers these wheels and tires now also in his ebay-shop: https://www.ebay.de/str/jackmodelling?_trksid=p4429486.m3561.l2563 Highly recommended !
