Generally, I've finished with Alfa, but anyway I have three models out of stated timeline, but they still are important to me and I keep them in the collection.

I do like the Zagato double bubble, but we seem to have opposite tastes in colors!  😆

@karl I'm not sure it's a matter of taste, I simply never have seen this car in blue. Seems the original car was painted in this shade of a cherry metallic

If anyone had made a BAT 11 in scale, it would have been Yow!  The same American who found the red BAT 7 in a used car lot commissioned BERTONE to make it.  They had no funds to make it a running prototype so it is a full size design exercise only.  Here it is in Nashville, TN, in 2016.

@karl what is interesting that that's a real car not a concept. A total of 15 modern units of the Alfa Disco Volante were built, consisting of 8 coupés and 7 Spyders.

The 1/43 coupe version by Matrix; I always liked the coupe styling better....

what a spectacular collection you are treating us too. That is a beautiful model of a beautiful car.

PS. I think I've asked this before but how do you display them? Showcase, display case? Do you have any pics of your models on display?
