I like how you converted it to a convertible. Tamiya should have done that in the first place. Nice work.

Really nice build, somenice touchs with the pictures. They almost look like they are being taken for the market material for the car. Only thing I would say in theory the whole idea of scrambling the license plate is good but I think it ruins the pics a little!

It's a Tamiya kit (Alfa GTV 1/24) conversion.
Below is my building diary. But, I seldom write any model building diary so I always found that "oh I forget to take the WIP photo for the previous step"!!

I'm sorry for not showing too much photos and you may found some (actually a lot! LOL) steps were missing.

Why blur out the plate, got a 1:1? Nice touch, did it win any awards at the show?

I just answered my own question after lookin at your 1:1. Sweet car and model.

That is brilliant!! :grinyes: The new rear bodywork is impressive enough :eek: , but then there's the engine conversion too :smokin:

The first two photos are awesome and definately my favourite. I like what you've done with the body, even though I'm not a fan of this car. My only gripe is that the focus is ever so slightly off in the other photos which is why to me, they still look like a model. The interior looks great too.

Nice convertion, very well executed, I have only one question, where did you get the V6_24 engine from because in the kit is only a 2 ltr. twin spark 4 inline. Is there a source where to buy such a wonderfull powerplant?

Indeed, a very sharp looking build.
And the first pictures could easily have been from a real 1:1 car (they are from the model right :naughty:)
