Alfa Romeo 158 & Talbot Lago SMER

Two very simple builds, made of old tooling from Merit in 1/24.

Very good if you compare what you get in box. I see you changed the wheels, what did you use?

Looking excellent!
As mentioned, after seeing the parts we get in the box I wasn't expecting such great builds!

Re: Alfa Romeo 158 & Talbot Lago SMER

Veyron, thank you again for your comments.
Sasa, thank you too. I used wheels found in my spare parts box. One set that I remember came from a Lindberg ´34 ford pickup. You can find some photo etched sets, like Hiro´s, but the price is really high.
Jano, thank you for viewing and commenting. I really like old race cars for their pure lines and simplicity. I dream about new releases from the old Merit tools and the whole collection totalized 15 models.

I completely agree, the old cars look so much better than the new ones with all the wings. Just curious, what color did you use on the Talbot?

Great builds!

Beautifully done Aldo - that you can turn out such nice models from those kits is a credit to you.

Pawlie, Martin and Tonioseven, thank you all.
Pawlie, I used Tamiya French Blue spray in the Talbot.
