Brizio Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 (edited) Time for a new project... Code Name "Bob Fault"... Roberto C aka Bob, is a friend of mine from Italy, and he build great military subject above all in 1/48 scale. Watching his models, I start to want to build one myself, so he kind of challenged me... I have this Fiat kit, that I think should be a good fast project to do.This is one new kit that came out few years ago, made by Italeri in 1/35. Pretty nice kit, but there are a lot of flash, more that a common kit in 1/24. The box... The back of the box with the four option to build this car. Chassis with suspension attached. The instruction says to glue the 5 body panel pieces on the floor pan, but I think is better glue all them together.

Foxer Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 That's a cool looking vehicle, and even has an engine despite the small scale! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brizio Posted February 19, 2015 Author Share Posted February 19, 2015 (edited) That's a cool looking vehicle, and even has an engine despite the small scale! The molding is not the best, there are some spacing when assembling, but there are a lot of details for sure, compared with some other Italeri kit. I replaced the rear spring with some "Hevy Duty"... I forgot to attach the picture... Edited February 19, 2015 by Brizio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brizio Posted March 1, 2015 Author Share Posted March 1, 2015 The engine... It is an Abbarth engine! More powerful!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Dave Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 If that's an Abarth engine, I'd expect to see a finned, large-capacity oil pan. I am really enjoying watching this build come together. Maybe when yours is done, we can stage a war game/drag race? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
