RED MCG 1/18 ALFA ROMEO Giulia Nuova super mod

[modifier]

A bit too low profile tires and looked small for the model
I replaced the tires as you see in pics, rest of the parts came from the blue one,

Nice work - a good compromise given it can be hard to find suitable tires for a vintage topic even if it reflects updates consistent with what might be seen at a modern day vintage event.  It's always nice too if one can introduce some turned aluminum parts or subtle photo-etched items onto a model which can help greatly to telegraph quality - something often lacking on sealed resin renditions of this or that even as costs soar.  

Just in short, it would be nice to have a hobby lathe, and braver still it is to do such work by hand.  Your work (always) appears very clean, hence however you achieve your ends, the techniques in play clearly do what is necessary.  

Shuffling wheels and tires consistent with establish what's good and separating out what isn't is a constant battle with my own 1:18th scale period road racing models, while coming up with sidewall markings that represent what was appropriate in-period vs. what corporate will license now to subtly promote the brand irrespective of accuracy can be irksome if a topic calls for such.   Not here though - hence just mulling things aloud.  Thanks again for sharing...
