Cool Renault Alpine A110 outdoor pics.

This is Tamiya's kit painted TS Alpine Blue(which is Light Metallic Blue now). Tried to put as realistic of a finish on it as I could, dull bumpers, weather stripping around front and rear windows painted on. A coat of light colored metalizer sprayed on wheels, then a darker one, then with fine grit polishing cloth the dark color was rubbed off the raised areas. Engine has been wired and Sakatsu velocity stacks added.

If it weren't on a base, I'd say it was real.....

Very realistic Veyron. I love Alpines and yours is one of the best I've seen.

What a car!!!

Excelent finish on that paint and what to say about the official alpine color... classic beauty at it's best.
Loved the rims. they are excellent!!!

Congratulations on an stunning work!!!

Did you use BMF on it or what??? those chrome parts rule!!!
Have the same kit and I'm thinking on that... any suggestions???

This is exactly how I remember the Alpine's from the local neighbour Renault Alpine dealer, when I was a kid.

Simply perfect. Same question here on the chrome parts.
