Alfa Romeo P2 - MFH 1/12

Post by primabaleron »

My next MFH. I love this sets. The wallet is crying, but I think I'm too stupid to do something scratchy. Here I replaced all the rivets, made the seat upholstery and added some tubing. It is Giuseppe Campari's winning car from the 1924 French Grand Prix. Understandably, there weren't many exact reference photos ...

Great model!
I like your weathering and the paint job. Contrary to what most people think, the paintwork back then was not as glossy as it is today, nor were the colors that bright.
Love it!

It is a great model. The look and all the details are so well done. The weathering makes the whole model looks so real.

Thank you for showing it!
