Don,

Looking at how you finished your Mercedes, I have no doubt this one will be a jewel. I'm looking forward to your updates. Thanks for sharing the build with us.

I recently built their Alfa Romeo 8c 2300 and it was a fantastic kit. There were virtually no problems and everything fit perfectly except for one body panel that was reluctant to go into place but eventually did. This was my first Italeri kit and I was concerned about both fit and quality but shouldn't have been. The 1/12 scale kits are expensive but probably worth it. Your club members made a huge mistake giving up on the kit.

Oh boy!  I've been eyeballing this kit for a while.  The daunting part has always been the price for me.  Following this build for sure.

Thanks,

John

I am the fourth owner of this kit from my club- the other three passed it around as being too daunting a build.  But you have heard of the fool who rushes in where angels fear to tread :-)   Please excuse the fuzzy photos- my flash would not talk to the camera, so it was a one second exposure handheld.

 

I  finished the frame and it is in prime now.  Also working on the body, cleaning up flash and sprue attachments and a few pieces painted.  This thing, especially the engine, has a zillion parts!

It was primarily a land speed record car.  It apparently was tried in a road race or two but was too big and heavy for track racing.
