Hello guys,
long time no see, this is the build I am working on at the moment - Tamiya's Alfa Romeo 155. I really like the orange colour of this one, so it was an easy decision. The model itself is a bit old and this is visible, not on par to the likes of the new Mercedes 300sl by Tamiya for example, but still fits perfectly. I got a PE and resin set from hobbydesign and additional decals from Shunko. This was a bit of overkilla sthis time Tamiya provided decals are printed by Cartograph, which is a first time for me. My experience with Tamiya's decals is terrible so far, but this time they ae thin and flawless. I am using white Tamiya surface primer and Zero Paints orange for the main colour. So far I have been doing some basic work on the engine - no real detailing there for now, but I plan to add the visible on the pictures I have cables. I found it very frustrating that the pictures of thisparticular car are quite rare and good quality pictures of the engine are practically missing or at least I wasn't able to find them. Pictures of teh cockpit are also quite rare, usually they are of other cars of the period, but I will be using them as much as possible. The cocpit is nearly ready - I still ahve to finish the dials and the wheel area, but as the doors are not openable, I will not be going in too much detail.
Here are the pictures, any comments, quaetions tips or pictures of the engine ar emost welcome
best regards,
Sasho
