making an Alfa Romeo 1300 GTA junior

[_TRF_]

After this body my resine mould got torn and is now useless

The mould took about 15 bodies and this one is the last, so it has to be something special

useless mould with last body of an Alfa Romeo 1300 GTA Junior

cleaned on primed body needs some fine cleaning now

Any suggestions about the design is the meantime...

Yes, here is an idea. Send it to me. That looks great.

Have you done any other bodies?

Shame about the mould, very cool car! Whats the scale?

[_TRF_]

Scale is 1/24, based on Tamiya body with widened fenders.

I've done about 15 Alfa GTA's out of this mould.

Other moulds i've done: Opel Commodore Coupe '70 and Ford Escort Mk1 '68

All scaled in 1/24

Opel Commodore

Ford Escort Mk1

Definitely do one with the fender painted and with 3 numeral number. Sorta like the attached car...

[patami]

I vanna have a Commondore and Mk1 escort

@Patami: Sorry the moulds are useless. Maybe i find some time and do a new one.

@Rossa156: great idea, but i need to have other colors. yellow/red aren't my colors

Maybe a livery with stripes on it?

[_TRF_]

Maybe something like this?

Alfa Romeo 'Gordini'?

What do you think??

How about this http://www.wettringer-modellbauforum.de/forum/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=44817

The Alfa is already painted! I went for the original color 'Alfa Romeo Rosso Competizione', which is the color of the ALfa Romeo 8C.

This color is very expensive, so it's excellent for my special Alfa Romeo GTA Junior

Now i'm waiting for the decals - stay tuned

you can NOT build an alfa romeo race car without the serpent and cross on the hood

and IMHO it should have been bright yellow...why?

let me tell you, I was 16 years old when I was working at a alfa romeo garage that did a lot of race prepping

one day we got a sprint in just like this from a Belgium owner

he wanted it to be as light and fast as possible so we took off the front clip, the door skins and the trunklid and had then remade in fiberglass

then we added an 3.2 v6 in it and shot it bright yellow as per the customers request

the customer was ecstatic when he came to pick the car up until he told us what series he wanted to race the car in...he was over 400 pounds below the minimum weight

Have to wait then i guess

The project finished today and i did go for a camel yellow Alfa Romeo, just like Toine Hezemans drove in the early 70ies.

The car is fully Radio Controlled using a 2.4 Ghz MiniZ MR03 chassis.

Hope you like it
