Alpine A110 1/24 - Acropolis 1970

This is my attempt to turn the Tamiya 's Alpine A110 in Acropolis 1970 winner.

Hope you like it... I wait your opinions and your criticism.

Very nice build, certainly looks accurate. Nice mods on the interior. The only thing I would say, the windscreen wiper on passenger side is too long. Are they from a generic sheet or were they supposed to fit this Renault.
I bought a set of mixed sizes but I can't remember who makes them.
Beautiful car, one of my favourites.

Thanks my friend for your comments and for your support in the project...
You are absolutely right about the windscreen

Made are very good! Very beautiful finished product!

That looks awesome and the blue color is not only spot-on, but beautiful. Please post a picture similar to your current "last" one showing the engine in more detail? It looks like you wired it up and being a mechanical guy myself I always like to see the engines in kits that have them.

Thanks!

If you want something different, just ask it...

Just checked the WIP (I had seen the start but not the finish). Looks great!

Thanks a lot :runaround:!

A wonderful model George !
Good color. To this Renault is difficult to find a similar color.

I use Tamiya's TS-54 straight from the can, for the exterior.

Beautiful work!

Beautiful work!

:iagree:

Very nice looking car and build. A little trouble with the front rally decal or just the way it shows in the picture?

very nice model !! :thumbsup:
but where are the rear scratched built air intakes grilles ?!? :screwy: :eek7: :icon16:

Yes, this my first attempt to make custom decals, so I make some mistakes... I hope the next time, do it better...

very nice model !! :thumbsup:

I abandoned the grilles for only aesthetic reasons :p. I like it more without grilles...

Thanks again for your support and your comments!

Awesome work! High level of completion! Congratulations!

Very nice!! Just lacks a driver ;) I think it would be neat to replicate the photo with a driver standing beside it :)

My friends auw12 and corvettekid_7684 thanks a lot for your comments...

Thanks mate... :runaround:

Great job!!

I have had one of these sitting around for years now....one day I may get around to building it.

Wow, what a beauty. I like how you posted the real car and then straight to your model, very realistic build. I'm impressed with how you detailed the interior and the all round clean workmanship. Very nice work you did on this fantastic little car.
