1954 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint (1/24)

[1959scudetto]

Nice model of this iconic Italian classic: issued 2010 in the "Alfa Romeo Centenary" series in Italy (made by Ixo). As I have 4 or 5 of these, I turned one into a typical '50's racer.

First the stock version:

 

Turning this into a typical 50's  race participant, is a very easy task: 1. remove the bumpers - 2. remove the hubcaps (as this is not possible here - wheels are cast in one piece) - I swapped wheels with those of a Protar Giulietta kit - 3. apply some decals from the spares - 4. ready to race !

Such pretty cars. Nice models. Nice work. 
need 1:1 in grey and a 2.0 stroker. It and 26R work make me a very winning vintage and tour team.

Really like what you did with this Alfa.  I might have to add one to my wish list.  Leo/White Box?

Thank you CL - could you please explain " a 2.0 stroker. It and 26R work " to me?

Thanks, Gary - this is the Leo models/Alfa Romeo Centenary version (in blister package) - I have also one of the Hachette "Auto Vintage collection" series (red, in a sturdy plexiglass box) - both from Italy.
