Tamiya Alfa-Romeo Giulia Sprint GTA

[Bernard Kron]

You excel at these so it's always nice to see something new off your bench. This is the classic Weapon of Choice for small displacement GT racing from this era and your color and paint scheme, and usual fine detail execution, capture it perfectly. This is what replica modeling is all about!

Great build, Curtis. This is one of those great kits that not enough people build. Super-cool original, and a fabulous build of a beautifully engineered kit as well...

Alfaholics would be proud!

She's a little beauty, for sure. Great model.

Though I've never driven a twin-plug-head equipped version, the street Giulia with twin sidedraft Webers is a wonderful, well-balanced, agile and fun car to drive.

Thanks, everybody, for the comments. Bernard, you know my build philosophy well and I appreciate the compliment.

Matt, almost no one since the dawn of time has been able to resist the tantalizing temptations of a big snake. I'll find some other application for the serpent decal.

I like how you have built this as a race version , looks great , well done .

[Dann Tier]

love the job you did on this kit!  -your slight weathering is very believable as well!

[Jay's Customs]

Very well done. It is a very clean build.

Very nice! I think I saw it on ebay a few days ago.

Very nice! I think I saw it on ebay a few days ago.

Yes, and it was bought by a return customer who now owns several of my built models. 

[EL LOCO]

Very nice

Curtis, I was so impressed by your build of this car, that I had this on my watch list on eBay. Well, as luck would have it, I was at the right place at the right time, and I snagged this gem off of there at a TERRIFIC price! Just goes to show that there can be great deals to be had off of the 'Bay if one is willing to be patient and see what happens.

I remember when Tamiya offered this kit some 20 odd years ago, but for whatever reason I never bought it. Your car changed my mine how nice these can be!

EXCELLENT, excellent work on this! I'm sure the person that got it will be more than happy! I'm not so sure I'd want to part with such a nice car after doing that kind of work to it though!
