It's me again.
I got myself the recent reissue, but modified it a bit. It's not modeled after a real car. Maybe I could have added a cage, but I just did some small things, so it's more like a track day or slalom car. I didn't use the bumpers or seats, took a recaro from an old Revell M1 kit, and added some small details.
Nice kit, only at the end I ruined the Alfa decal for the Scudetto and I don't have such a small one in the spare box, and the hand brushed silver on the frames of the side windows didn't work out that well. On the front and rear windows, I could use a paint marker, because there you paint the clear parts, and that always works very nicely. But there were some fit issues, so make sure to sand the window frames a bit before painting.
Painted with Zero Rosso Alfa and 1k clear, also some Alclad Alu and Chrome.
Hope you like it.

Thanks.
What did you use for the towing hooks?
I just bent some copper wire in shape and painted it.
