Re: Alex Zanardi bmw z4 gt

I find it unbelievable that no model company has chosen to produce a kit of Alex Zanardi's touring cars. The man is the definition of strength and courage and an inspiration to us all.

Re: Alex Zanardi bmw z4 gt

Thank you David, i know that decal sheet, but is not this newer car he will use during competition.

Just I remember when I was working in wtcc..everybody there , and i mean EEVERYBODY was supporting Alex, even if from a different team..
great guy and great pilot, his adventures in american IRL was amazing, like that passage at Laguna.

I just hope they will make this decal sheet soon, is a truibute for him, absolutely deserved.

Re: Alex Zanardi bmw z4 gt

I already bought a fujimi z4 gt3 and created the vector art to do the gold and regular cars (the studio27 sheet is not complete). What I need now is time to assemble and paint the kit...Maybe a WIP will come by mid-year.

I also have the same desease: collect everything in kit about Alex! maybe we can exchange a list of Alex's kit because it is very possible I'm missing something...

As you are a decal producer, maybe I can send you the vector art I've created so far. It would be great also for me to have them printed by a company; as of now I planned to have them custom-printed by Fides in Italy. Just send me a PM if you're interested.

Re: Alex Zanardi bmw z4 gt

I loved watching this man race. He was the reason CART was so successful. That horrible crash, the near death.....then making a comeback. The true definition of TRUE GRIT.

Did you check any of our previous GT decals? They are very accurate, as we get the real pictures from many photographers

Re: Alex Zanardi bmw z4 gt

Hi Paolo,

Thought you might like to see these photos.





I took them in Valencia November 2006, it was Alex's first time back in a F1 car.

He was such an incredible person to meet.
