Italari 1/12 Alfa Romeo Monza 8c

[kpnuts]

More done to the Alfa added detail to the firewall (put the rubber strip round where the bonnet goes and some wires) added (or as much as I can see) the throttle linkage (not sure where to route the throttle linkage) all the pics I can find finish where it is now, obviously it must end up at the peddle but no idea how it goes from where it is now to the peddle.

Loving the detail on the grill (this from a man that hates PE

Nice work.

The bodywork even looks like it's formed from sheet metal, lovely piece of work.

Nice to see some grime going on this car.

This just gets better, KP and I agree it is good to see a bit of weathering going on which will add to the realism.

OK so I've added locknut detail to the radiator cowling  ( loads more of that to add ) added the advance/ retard mechanism and the low tension leads to the coil and to the distributor (still to make the condenser)

Hi all did more work on the engine and the cockpit




And more work underneath.

[Clashcityrocker]

Progressing nicely.

Wow, this is developing into a real beauty, KP.

Hi all I'm really enjoying this kit, fit is great, no flash at all( I've seen some bad reviews of this kit, all I can say is they haven't built it or are not modelers)

[kpnuts]

More done to the Alfa, the underneath is finished so on to the top ( those nuts are 1.4mm the hole I drilled in them is 0.3mm) the drilling was easy threading that wire through the hole was another story. 

I'm kind of wishing I hadn't started it, on the other hand it does make quite a difference to the overall look.

The exhaust is not fixed I just wanted to see how it looked.

The radiator to bulkhead brace I made out of copper wire the thing supplied in the kit is so flimsy (the only bad bit in the whole kit.

[Narayan]

Fantastic work, it's really coming along well.

It does feel like you are constructing a car, albeit at a smaller scale, rather than a kit.

Makes me think of Richard Van Dyke putting Chitty Chitty Bang Bang together in his barn!

Ha! I didn't type Richard there, but I can't change it to his known name!

Hi all first disappointing bit of the kit so far, spent 2 hrs trying to get the bonnet to fit, still not happy with it not sure what to do next to improve fit.
