Hi Steve, thank you for your congratulations !

Hi Patrick, thank you for ypur comments ! Yes, I too saw Alfa Romeo race live during the Monaco Montecarlo Grand Prix in 1980. I was on the grandstand after the tunnel and I was impressed by the noise of the engine, much louder than 12 cylinder Boxer Ferrario but, less shrill tha the 12 cylinder matra, wich ran in the same race !

Hi Larry, Thank you for your congratulations ! Since you appreciate the details, I am attaching two photos showing the rear wing, totally coveredwith 0,04 mm stainless steel sheet metal and with the side bulkheads replaces as , for the Austrian Grand Prix, a race in which refers to model I built, Alfa Romeo used the side bulk heads in bare metal sheet, not colored in fluorescent red as in the races preceding and following this one. I made them with 0,5 mm steel metal sheet and equipped with Adlers Nest rounded rivets.

Hi Rich, I'm glad you like my Alfa Romeo and that you own all Protar kits; of course, they need touch-ups and adjustments, but the final result can be excellent ! I enclose three photos of details of the 179 : one, shows the seat belts ,replaced with those of MFH, as far as the buckles are concerned, the fabric is that of Modeler's and the seams were obtained fron decals included in a seat belts set of T2M.The other two, show the engine exhausts, totally self constructed using a roll of welding alloy (St/Zn) which is used in thermo-hydraulics.

Hi Helmut, thanks for the compliments written in excellent italian ! I am attaching two photos , one showing the oil tank which is located behind the petro tank, behind the pilot. Naturally, this detail too was completed with the addition of braided hose , fittings, welding on the corners of the tank and painting , to give the typical roughness of its surface. The other, show the floor reinforcements , placed in the rear part, on the side of the engine , completely omitted from the kit and which I made by bending a 0,5 mm sheet metal, using the stapler for photo etched parts.

Thank you !

Thank you !
