Alfa Rome 155 v6 DTM progress\A great deal too!!

[Vyacheslav]

Went to the hobby shop last week, the guy works by himself, and he got a pretty selection of rare kits also. I camt to him, and asked if could make me a discount on something that i want, he nodded and told me to grab the kit i want and he will think about it. I come back with 155 v6, and he bursts into a laughter, man i think he thought i was a smart ass , anyway the kit was 45 CAN with tax, he cut it to 35 CAn with tax, so i think it was a pretty neat deal there.

Now, the detail is very good, this is first time i touch tamiya kit. The body is in orange, and it has nice reflections, i dont even know if i should paint it or not?
hehe, well here is the unbody image, ive got done a little bit more since i scanned it. Comments please

I think every model car should be painted, it takes away nast mold lines, imperfections in the plastic colours, also my humble opinion is that you really should spend some time (and money perhaps) to buy some paint to detail the undercarriage;

I m pretty sure you can make it look like a stunner instead of a "simple boy's little toy"


Just my two cents...

good luck

Paint it willya U lazy bum

Anyways, those paints look like copper and gunmetal I'm just guessing, the other is flat aluminium?

Looks a good kit, spend time doing it up man.

Couldnt find flat aluminium in my hobby store, so its just aluminium
And the rest would be alum+white, gold+alum, gunmetal, alum
Thanks i will try to do my best, since those 40 bucks, are 4 hours of hard work (landscaping)
