Protar 1/12 1927 Fiat 806

[Mike C]

This is a real old build from about 1982 or so. It's the original Protar 1/12 die cast kit. I did a little minor restoration recently. The paint needed to be waxed again, the windscreen had broken off and I was missing the two louvered pieces under the exhaust. I got the replacement parts from Italeri. The windscreen is in this die-cut sheet. It was way too short to fit in the frame so I cut a new piece. I just couldn't get the four little hood clips to work. They are just ridiculous to attach to the frame and the one in the front is exactly over the tie rod. So here's some new photos of it.

Beautiful build and resto Mike. Sharp little model. My only thought is that the wires may be a bit overscale; but that's probably due to the kit's age.

Great job bringing it back.

I didn´t know it had been a die cast kit from the beginning, I built the reissue from italeri some time ago. Nice to see one more ! You done a nice job restoring this one

And the camber is just right.
