Recent acquisitions - my 1st NEO and a couple of Bburagos!
During my recent 2-week vacation along the Danube/Main/Rhine Rivers, I did search out any 'modellauto' shops. W?rzburg had a very nice one where I found all three of these Alfas.
My first NEO is a 1980 Alfetta - the best Alfetta in 1/43 that I have seen. Very precise and looks just right. I did not bother to check dimensions. The upgraded Campy wheels are a nice touch.

I also picked up these 2 toys by Bburago at the same shop:

The MiTo and Giulietta are the current Alfa line, with the new 4C grill in 1:1 in the background! Of course, I now need the Alfa 4C in 1:43!
I just happened to be in Frankfurt for the IAA 2013 (biennial int'l car show). How lucky is that? I picked up these 2 Ferraris by Tekno in Copenhagen before we went to Germany. Lambo fashion show is in the background!

That Alfetta looks good enough to climb aboard and speed away!
