Finished pics of Alpine A110 1600SC Berlinette

[bigfrit]

At last, here are the finished pics of my best model sofar (If I may say so myself.

I think it belongs to the category of model cars that "do look nice but look even better IRL".


This model looks box-stock , but there have been made many modifications to make it even more true to it's real life counterpart, the awesome, road-going Alpine.

So, what are the mods;
Some detail painting according to reference pictures
Blackwashing and drybrushing parts of the engine
Heat discoloration on the exhaust
The interior has recieved a special threatment , I was going for a worn leather look , and it came out nice nicely.. but not very noticable ...
Valves have been added to the rims
The engine has been wired, and the carburetters have been detailed
Painted Tamiya Chrome Yellow, polished afterwards.
The rims have been painted Tamiya AS-42 (silver leaf) and the bumpers also.


And for the rest spraycans , and tesors metalisers complete this package .

Tell me what you think as I think I did a quite .. job!

always appreciated.

Cheers,
olivier


On with the pictures (it was a bit late, so no really glossy pics, although the paint is smooth as ice.

Now that’s a pleasure to see one of these beauties.
It looks real nice in yellow. I think this one looks nice in any colour
I have worked recently in a A110 too, but the Rally version.
Unfortunately there was a ... humm .... problem with de decals.
I’m waiting for a new decal sheet do arrive.

Thanks a lot everybody for your kind words,

I just found another mistake that has subsequently een fixed, the lettering on the front was a bit wobbly , and had been made better.

And Nuno, I remember it from the past yo were making a blue alpine, which was really coming along greatly, so you're still waiting ?

Build it !
