Big Bertha roolz!

Stunning creativity all round in this Gio. There isn't a place you didn't "play"with.

Despite all the great turning and etching you did on this project (as ever), I think I like most the "wallpaper" look with teh decals and the way you have put the wing mirrors (which I normally hate ). Bravo!

Hi Gio,

I love it !!!

In contrary to Steve I donīt like the mirror sitting at the engine cover .

How about the steering column ? It looks as it should sit a little bit higher in the dash.

It calls for a race, that is how car should look like.......devilish ;D

Great work Gio, even thou I didn't like those gigantic logos on tires, once done with all the other decals it looks perfect.

Re: AF Super 7 Group Build... SUPER7 :)

Wow, this is the Alberto Tomba of super 7's! I think the livery is fantastic, I love it. I really am impressed with the little things you did (impossible for me) like the words on the radiator and that beautiful grill to the panel on the rear fender. This car looks fun and wicked at the same time. Great job.

Some very sweet details there, a very nice racer, should produce lots of Gīs with that grip- setup.
I love it!

Re: AF Super 7 Group Build... SUPER7 :)

Thanks a lot friends

@ Micha: yep those mirror is quite strange: but I ever loved the JGTC Supra's wing mirror's setup, and I guess this is the only chance I have to use that inspiration at least this car is all strange and asymmetric

@ Les: I'm stunned and very pleased someone in the world remember yet our National's Albertone: we all loved him A LOT

Great stuff! Love it- little trackday beast.

Turned out terrific, just spectacular work. You kept us guessing about the scheme until the very end , but I like the way it came out- especially the nonsymetrical decals on the bonnet.

I should take hope from this one- if Gio can finish a 7, maybe I can too!

Re: AF Super 7 Group Build... SUPER7 :)

Very cool!
I'd love to see Bertha shake that wide ass out of a corner

I'd paint the inside of the exhaust outlet a dark flat grey, it looks a bit too gloss black in the pictures. She must be running very rich?

What is the next project?

Re: AF Super 7 Group Build... SUPER7 :)

Rob: the inner of exaust is smoked with oil+zippo fluid, the color is Payne's Grey: i guess the effect is very emphatized by camera.

LOL Rob, I'll rename the Lap Car (meant in the very very sexy way)

Rob: next jobs: I was a bit unlucky: as I just wrote on the China's Scangi thread I re taken in a hand those but I discovered that after 9 months the Revell (shitty) plastic go crazy under a superb and shiny TS 13 coat.

So I'm switching on another old already started stuff: the '78LM Renault A442B, the winner, in good company with the #4 (also reached 4 pos) Ragnotti's A442 (quick conversion, S27 decals): I'm feeling fun and, LOL!!! other 2 yellow cars, I realized now, naaaaaa from 2005 I finished only 2 cars, both yellow, and next 2 would be yellow......

sameone save me, I'm sick LOL

Tanks guys for comments, I'll make hunny for next jobs.

Very cool! I love the mirrors on the bonnet. They look cool off center like that - and very business. I also like all the decal work, seems like toy companies really like to sponsor your racer! Very cool build in all, all your etching and turning is magnificent! Lends a stunning touch to an already extraordinary model. Great work!

An impressive and unique little car. I really enjoyed the progress of this car and some of the solutions you came up with.
Now get to work on the next one.
