Well, I came across this simple Alfa 1750 kit and began to research what I could do with it and found this...   This was one of Enzo's Last races before he retired as a driver! This is what I started out with...  the wheels are a bit heavy, but they will do ok...  I'll start by cutting and puttying the rear section to be like the 4-view...  I'll use an Alfetta I-8 engine from a Merit kit as an engine(this one was from a glue bomb...  cut and slice...  ah...putty time! Patrick |

Great idea, often thought of doing this car myself. Can't wait to see how this works out.

Had some trouble with paint, but photos soon to follow. I decided to nix the engine and finish this car.

Ta-Da! I used a flat black base cover and sprayed my red over it( the idea came to me from Michael and others in using the Tamiya sprays with different base coats to give a bit different shade of color! Thanks guys...we learn)...  my favorite part...adding decals...   DISASTER!!!!!! an errant finger contacted some glue and...  shoot me! It sorta looks like the spilled benzina on the real car! LOL!

Dang Patrick...sorry that a wild finger got into the paint. It does kinda look like the fuel spillage though. That's still a very cool looking build...despite the setback.

Patrick:
Il Commendatore would be proud! Dang, I admire your work and like your choices...take it to school and offer a letter grade improvement to any student that knows who he was or the brand of car...
Kind regards,
Tim
PS: I learned the same base coat paint trick on here...the older I get, the more I learn--TJ
