Hi all first disappointing bit of the kit so far, spent 2 hrs trying to get the bonnet to fit, still not happy with it not sure what to do next to improve fit.

Might have to add a shim between the bonnet & radiator to hide the gap .... or just display it with all the bonnet up  ???
If you're game you could pull the radiator off & reposition it ?

Very nice!  Will you be including a drip pan under the engine to collect the leaking oil?  :smiley:

You've done a much better job on the bonnet than Italeri did for their web shots! Nice work  :smiley:

Started some weathering (don't want it to look showroom condition) I also don't want it to look like an old jalopy. Looking at the pics looks like the rear hinge has broken free (again)

Hi all well its done.























I'll post better pics in daylight.



Now this is finished( and after I've done the cobra)

I've promised myself I'm going to finish some of my stalled builds.

Probably not of interest to you car guys but this is one.









And some of these.

I'm not a Car Guy, I'm a modeller! ;)

The Alpha is, as I have stated, possibly in different terminology, fantastic! :D

But I'm really looking forward to the ship moving forward, that was fun to watch! 8)

Great Alfa :smiley:

Looking forward to the Kombi Transporter -- what's going on it when finished -- a V8 Beetle drag-car ??

It looks great!  If not for the towel that it is perched on that model could almost pass for the real thing.  :smiley:
