I'm still going on the Williams FW-13B, hopefully photos later today.
It's time to add my next build. I was sorting through my stash, and I have three Tamiya Alfa 155TIV6 racing cars. Two are the Jagermeister livery, and are unopened. The third is the Martini livery, which was started when I bought it second hand a few years ago.
I didn't realise it was started until I got it home (I've subsequently learned to check these things), and found that the original builder had messed up the body paint and decals, and hadn't cleaned up the parts prior to painting them. I stripped it all off, cleaned it up, shelved it and forgot about it completely.
Since I seem to be on a campaign to eradicate these part builds from my stash, upon rediscovering it, I've decided to build it. Unfortunately I didn't photograph it before I stripped it.
My plan is to use the chassis, engine and cockpit as is, with a few tidy ups and some repainting, but largely as it was originally done.
The body will have to be reprimed and sprayed and decalled. The rims and tyres need ot be done too.
My plan is just to build a decent looking shelf model, and depict another racing car scheme on my shelf.
I've got several aftermarket decals for these Alfas, but not a set of Martini decals that match the kit box art. I've decided to use a set of DMC decals for a car driven by Fisichella in 1994.
I'll take photos of the model itself later today.
This kit is the starting point:
This is the car I want to do. You get this photo with the decals.
Cheers
Tony
