Tamiya Alpine A110 1600

Here is a project I have been working on over the past few weeks. Basically stock, though I did wire the engine. It’s been a bit more challenging than your typical Tamiya kit, with a number of areas where the fit wasn’t quite as good as normal ( I have a feeling that the engineer behind this is the same one who started Ebbro; great concept, just needs a touch more refined execution).

Nice one! You've got most of the hard work done, it looks great so far.

I used to have one of these in my stash, I remember some of it looking incredibly delicate.

Very nice. It looks nearly finished. The one kit of this I did have, had such a good metalic blue plastic finish, that it could have been built without painting.

Right now, it’s down to the finishing touches; lights, bumpers,, windshield, and some decal work. I have to reattach some pieces in the engine bay, had to break the engine free to lower it (too high for the engine cover to fit).

Really looking good.  Seldom see these built so really appreciate your posting.
