another kit build Alfa [PIC]
Juan Fangio's '51 Alfa 159M. I couldn't afford Exoto's ridiculously detailed gem, so I found an old Italian "Revival" mixed media kit. There's a goodly amount of cast metal parts in thisso you'll spend some time filing and chasing those parts but with a bit of extra detailing and some paint work, it comes out pretty nice as long as you don't park it next to the Exoto. It's 1/20 scale but looks OK parked with similar vintage 1/18s. some of the pics show it next to a 1/18 Ferrari.
