I read your 5 part history of Togi and, although this isn't a 1/43 topic, I wonder if you can tell me anything about this 1/23 1930 Alfa Romeo 6C roadster that I picked up ages ago as a curiosity piece. I gather it was originally in kit form, and, first, can you see if it's missing any parts. The 1/23 scale is an unusual choice and I wondered why and if there were other releases in that scale. Thank you for your consideration.

5 parts posted, many more to go.  Togi selected 1/23, not sure why.  We will cover the 6C 1750 in a future article very soon.  Togi made several versions, kit and built.  Looks like yours is complete - I think the knock-off hubs actually work if you need to fix a flat!  😉 

 

Here's mine:

@karl Thanks so much for your response, Karl. I'm looking forward to more installments. As to the operational Knock-Off hubs, I'll let you try them first. LOL

@ed-davis)  My old model auto articles that were deleted from the internet (eg, TOGI) will start to appear on the hobbyDB blog, thanks to Christian! This is hot off the press:

Rich - here is what we know about TOGI's 6C1750.  I went ahead and republished more parts to get up to this one...

I remember when Togis were new, but I avoided that weird 1/23 scale. Here's my 1/43 by Minichamps.
