This is my attempt to turn the Tamiya 's Alpine A110 in Acropolis 1970 winner.
You can found a wip here.
The real car is this :


And the result is :



















And the interior :


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

With Best Regards

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!

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.

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

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

Thanks again for your support and your comments!
