Mittagskind Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Today I finished working on the model. I decided not to mount the fenders because I think the Alfa looks better without them. The fenders look too big in relation to the wheels and the mounting brackets in particular look very unreal, although I also painted them the same color as the car. Now the Alfa gets its place in the showcase. Maybe someday I'll get in the mood to come up with something different with the fenders. Oh yes, I see the coolant thermometer is sitting askew on the hood. The last driver probably didn't screw it on properly after the last filling... lol 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redscampi Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Stellar work on a difficult kit! I very much agree with leaving the fenders off. This looks much like the Monza version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Chernosky Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 All I can say is WOW Hanjo. Pocher kits are certainly no walk in the park. ( I have this one) The engine, under carridge and paint are most impressive. A fine piece of craftsmanship..very well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary, I don't know how big the fan base is. This meeting has been held once a year for many years. I'll be there for the first time tomorrow. I will tell you and take photos. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1959scudetto Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 (edited) Very well done, Hanjo - I would not have the nerve to finish one of these (the spoke wheels !). That is a quite unusual color for an old Alfa - does it represent a certain car or is it due to your imagination ?

I was looking for a suitable color for this model, but it shouldn't be red, because I already have enough red Alfas in my showcase. I found this color and I really liked it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave B Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 That's a great build Hanjo, and I love that it's green. I've seen a built so I can begin to appreciate the effort. Tks for posting Dave B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
