I always loved the French and Italian prewar streamliners and for a long time there was nothing in 1/24. I found a 1980 plastic kit by Heller of a Delahaye 135 with I think was Chapron coachwork ( I forget) and that was my first. Next came those wonderful Talbot Lagos along with the Saoutchik Cadillac. Finally TFM gave us an Italian classic, the 1937 Alfa Romeo 8C 2900B spider. It was a most welcome addition to my collection.
things I notice on Richs pics that I had not noticed on my models! The "Superlegguna?" script. Just checked mine out and there it is! Need a magnifying glass to read it. Great stuff, love the Delahaye too, thanks Rich.
