Lu if u have time would love to see more of the garage43 Alfa. It looks remarkable. This seems to be all that garage43 say about themselves, a 1/43 producer with no working links on their site.

Would love to know more, pics, how and where you got it,

thanks

Geoff

I believe these alfa's were built from Profile24 kits, they are no longer available for purchase from the manufacturer but show up on eBay occasionally for usually $150-200.

I badly wanted one of those but I was not happy with the lines, hence no purchase yet.

Sedan Saturday! 
Today we have a special and hard-to-find piece. This 1998 Shanghai GM Buick Century GLX has build quality very much on par with Franklin Mint and Danbury Mint models from the same era.

It features a full diecast chassis, giving it a solid, hefty feel in hand. The interior is beautifully finished with felt carpeting throughout, including the trunk. Under the hood, the engine bay is fully detailed with visible plumbing, belts, and ancillary components.

A fascinating snapshot of late-1990s GM global design and manufacturing, and a great addition for collectors who appreciate premium craftsmanship and unusual market variants. Enjoy!

This one appears to be early prototype, the tires have no threads as far as I can see. The restored 1:1 car was maroon color as the production FM model. I don't think the silver and black was a color combo consideration at the time.
