Jaguar had to "lift" styling cues from this 1953 Alfa Romeo C52 Disco Volante Coupe, right? BTW: This is a 1/18 resin Technomodel.

Lift? It's a rip-off! Highway robbery, I say!

Maybe they did.....but if so they did a masterful job of improving it. Lol.

Certainly styling cues but the Alfa looks like a stuffed pig in comparison.

Mmm... A perfectly roasted pork shoulder is one of my favorite meals...

WOW!!! I've never seen this in 1/18 scale. I have a little 1/43 of this "Flying Saucer". Yours looks so much nicer.

"I've never seen this in 1/18 scale!"
Right! I knew you'd chime in sooner or later.... it's a new release; however, if I hadn't seen your 1/43 years ago, I would've never even known about this Alfa Disco. 😎 😎

@chris That was many years ago when I was trying to find this alfa Disco Volante and the 3 Alfa B.A.T. cars by Bertone.
Some company was going to do these in 1/18 and I don't think it ever happened. The B.A.T. #9 is a relatively new resin. The other two are very old SMTS white metals.

Chris. You read it before I finished posting. See what you probably missed.

"See what you probably missed."
I'm caught up now. Makes me wonder if Technomodel is considering those for future release - in 1/18. 🤔 🤔 🤔 🤔
