Fiat 806 Grand Prix Italeri 1/12

Well, here it is.
This kit is the Italeri rerelease of the old Protar Fiat 806. The advantage of the new edition is that the parts are made of plastic. The old Protar version is made of metal. Of course ist a lot easier to work with plastic instead of metal.
I used some rivets on the body parts, the hinge of the hood was redesigned and the vents opened or rebuilt.
Painted with Zero Paints, Alclad and Chrome powder from „Uschi Van der Rosten“, the body is painted with TS8.
For the floor I used tesserae, the facade is made of cardboard and has been coated with an artist putty.

That looks really nice! Did you add other details or is it pretty much out of the box?

Very nice build!! A little weathering on the building might make the diorama look real.
