These were sold off from the factory recently because they were no longer needed. The Alfa Romeo 8C 2900 B Speciale Tipo Le Mans 1938 is a display piece that was never lacquered and is labeled as a "desk scale" model. The B1 Centauro is an Italian tank destroyer that was made as a trial, but a contract was never signed, so it seems - no scale was given.
So you may ask yourself, "What are these beautiful models?"
You may ask yourself, "Where does this post really belong?"
And you may ask yourself, "Am I right, am I wrong?"
(to paraphrase the Talking Heads)
The Alfa is stated at 1/32 scale, and the Centauro's length, width, height is measured out at 1/54; hence the average of this post is.... 1/43!! So I think it is a perfect place to show these two. Hope you all agree...

Me too. I used to run into David Byrne on the subway.
Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

Thanks Karl. I find the Alfa especially interesting. An unusual scale for a Brooklin.
