News from Nuremberg:Tamiya Giuilia Sprint GTA is back!


Recommended Posts

Would be nice if they in the future released a GTZ / Tubolare , aka "Mini GTO". The body and most of the chassis are of course different, but probably some components could be common with the GTA.

Hugely excited the Giulia is coming back. It's a jewel of a kit and I'll look forward to building it once again.

Great news - now I can stock up (I have 3 unbuilts in my stash from when they were first released + a GTAm transkit)- one of my all time favorites !

Just had a look and oh yes...

ABSOLUTELY, it would be nice.

Was under the impression My Favorite Headache (credit: @keyser) might have covered this on the resin end of things but perhaps not.  Tamiya's kitted odder balls...

Additional good news on the Alfa reissue. According to Stevens International the MSRP is $33. For comparison's sake, MSRP on the just announced Craftsman Plus '64 Chevelle Malibu is $35.99.

A full detail Tamiya kit from the 90's with metal transfer badges and poseable steering is cheaper than an AMT curbside from the 60's. Just to make things abundantly clear.

Just for curiosity's sake: what years of the Trans Am Series will the Tamiya kit be the best basis for?  Or will it?

Looks like you could do 66 or 70, though for some later cars you’d need to add a chin spoiler. Patto’s place has 1/24 decals for the Kwech 1966 car.

best,

M.

This kit?

That kit builds well.  I built two for a customer.  One build was red like on the box.  The other build was in silver to replicate the one he races at Watkins Glen.
