Inspired by another build on a Bond car theme, I remembered I had the  "Alpina" version of the BMW Z8 in the stash. I didn't much like the OOB colour scheme, but this one took my eye doing some research:

Much more fun than sophisticated dark blue, say I...

Tamiya TS-8 Italian Red  looks close enough to BMW Hellrot, which sounds painful...

It's not a Blitzbau, but it's a nice curbside kit that builds pretty quickly...

Without an engine to worry about, and with very well-molded interior details coupled with very comprehensive decals, I'm expecting this one to come together pretty quickly.

We shall see...

best,
