1/18 Alfa Romeo 159 SW ti

[_TRF_]

Hi, my Name is Michael and i'm a great Alfa Romeo Fan.

I always dreamt of a model of the Alfa Romeo 159 SW ti, which is the most sportive looking Alfa Romeo 159.

The car got a sport suspension, side panels, 19" rims, Brembo braking system and many other parts the standard Alfa doesn't have.

I was looking for the model a long time, but the only model released was the 1/18 version from Mondo Motors, which does not look very sportive.

original Alfa Romeo 159 SW

and thats the result:

I disassemled the model, removed the laquer, cleaned the holes, crafted the side panels, fitted it for the sport suspension, tooks scale looking ti-rims

and Fitted a Brembo braking system

Hope you like it

Here are some pics to spot the difference between the scales

I've done a 1/24 and 1/18 Alfa Romeo SW ti based on a Welly (1/24) and Mondo (1/18) Alfa 159 SW

First with original Mondo head lights

Now with Norev head lights

The 1:1

The Norev look much more scale

So now he is ready ...

The wheels have yet to get an Alfa logo. An antenna was mounted and the QV-plate which I got from Italy, is also up.
The ti-badges I have 'drawn' after my printer ate the decal sheet ...











Thus, the Alfa Romeo is now coming under the hood in the showcase - I hope you like him

Now I'm looking for my second Cars in 1:18 - Citroen C4 from 2007 in the 1:18? is this car available?
