One of Airfix's excellent 1970s new tool 1/32 cars (not to be confused with the Highway Pioneers style brass-era oldies, or the slot-car derived 60s racers)...
Left to right: the Airfix M K3 Magnette, another one of those mid-70s vintage sportsters (along with a Bugatti 35 and Vauxhall Prince Henry); the Alfa; and Matchbox's Aston Martin Ulster.
Now, on with a Jaguar SS100 and MG TD from Matchbox...
(Don't ask me why SmugMug is making these pictures different widths... I have no idea!)
best,
M.

That looks rather nice
and nicely photographed too
an optical dillusion - in the penultimate photo the front right wheel looks hollow
[smugmug does that to my photos too sometimes]

Its not just how good your painting is, its how good the touch-ups are too.

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing

Excellent work, Matt. Alfa have been making handsome looking cars for a long time and makes for a great trio with the MG and Aston.
