Great to see this. Haven't seen it before.

Well, here's a kit I've had in my stash for over 40 years. It's been on the workbench, started and put back up many times. It was listed as one of the most difficult kits in the forum and I must agree. It was frustrating, had very poor fit, most parts did not want to stay glued. I did an engine swap which made it more difficult. OOB mostly and I must say I will not do another. I don't remember my Orange Crate build as being this frustrating. I'm glad to be done with it.
All that work sure paid off! It looks fast sitting still. Good colors. The chopped roof is cool. I don't understand how any manufacturer can't be considered about quality control. These older hot rod kits are a blast and I would try to build more if they weren't such a pain.

Great build everywhere you look! I haven't started mine yet but will do silver color. With all of the new versions of the original kit out, I had hoped they would have the 421 fender emblems on the decal sheet but none so far.

As a former owner of a real 1974 GTV I'm keen to see details. wonderful model!

Sinister! Fun to see. That dropped front axle is very cool. Thanks for this.

Long time Alfa fan. Have owned six. My first was a new 1977 Alfetta Sedan. Nothing like the early sedans. They were almost as fun as my 3 Spiders! Fun to see these models. Thanks for posting.

First one I have seen built. Really great! I hope that when I start mine I have similar results. Thinking that my box art shows the color orange.

Wow! This machine looks like it is in a 1:1 car show. The color and the chrome jumps. Really like looking at the engine.

Nice! I built it too and you are right, the interior panels/rear wheel housings etc are tough to get right. Front suspension is fiddly. Yours looks just right.

Fantastic interior. Checking out the 409 emblems too!

It's a fun build. Wish I would have done my wiring in blue like yours. Did mine in black. The front and rear suspension looks resto mod when finished.

Im going to try to put 421 emblems on the front fenders like a lot of them had on the drag racing version. I bought that kit year's ago. First release.

Will definitely be checking out the dual quad 421 powered Catalina.

Issue 223 arrived in Little Rock, Arkansas this morning. YAY!

Nice enough for their own glass case. The details and shapes of that era F1 cannot be beaten..

Congrats on finding this treasure after many years! Maybe this decal info will help---STS Scale Model Decals. Made in Kentucky. STSDecals.com
Good luck.

Killer. Details, color and build. Checking out the deep wheels.

Tuff stance. Great photos. The highlighted interior shot through the roof is unique. Orange and gold is fun to see.
