Tamiya 1/24 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GTA

[Justin Porter]

What fun this was! I cannot say enough what a delightful build the Tamiya classic sports cars are. I only added plug wires to the Twin Cam with this, and am planning another build to take advantage of USCP's freshly released 3D print detail set. Paint is Rosso Corsa from the new Cobra Motors line of automotive acrylics from AMMO by Mig under Gunze GX112 UV Cut Super Clear.

Cool Alfa Romeo.  Don't see many of those.  Well done.

Lovely job. That big snake is pretty much mandatory with these, I reckon…

best,

Great looking paint finish and like that you included the Alfa hood emblem. Like the clean detailed finishes. 

[Nacho Z]

Great looking Alfa, Justin!

Very nice, looks good in red, one of those kits I didn’t even know existed.

[DJMar]

Very nice finish on this little beauty! I really like the interior colors. Sweet build.

[Bainford]

Very nice. That's one sweet little Alfa.

Beautiful Alfa there. It looks stunning in red. I especially like the addition of all the ignition cables - you made a really neat job of that.

Looking forward to getting and building this model. I restored and owned a real 1974 year GTV (the 4 headlight version) in 1993. Tamiya has done the usual great job on this kit. It has 2 Weber carbs like my real one did.

Great job on the crazy twin plug ignition wires! What was your source for them please?

Thank you to everyone! Wiring the engine was a combination of drilling the kit supplied twin coils, an Iceman Collections predrilled V8 distributor (modified to accept a second coil wire), a pack of Gofer gray ignition wire with boot material, and some 0.3mm solder for the tie wraps.

Looks great.

Justin...that turned out great and looks good on the shelf with your other masterpieces.

Very nice build of one of my all-time favorites, Justin ( I have 3 in my stash since the 1990's) - excellent also your sportscar gathering: is that a Gunze SWB?

Yes it is! That's the Gunze High Tech kit which was a fantastic demonstration of why I should have tracked down an Italeri SWB instead!

Great looking Alfa Romeo!

Very nice Alfa Romeo!

Sweet little car. Everything seems so naturally put together on it. Well done, congratulations!

[Rattlecan Dan]

Cool and classy. Holds its own as a Euro hot rod. Nice work.

Great build of a cool car!
