Yesterday, when I returned home for lunch, I had the pleasant surprise of finding a package sent to me by Italeri.
It was the prize for winning with my Alfa Romeo 179 of their last Auto-moto online competition of the last few weeks, published on their Facebook page.
The kit sent to me is that of their latest creation: Alfa Romeo 8C 2300 Monza in 1/12 scale.
I must admit that, after a thorough inspection, I was very impressed by the very high level of accuracy and precision achieved by an Italian company, at the level of the most famous Tamiya!
Thanks again Italeri!
Regards,
Giovanni La Rosa

Ciao Wim,
the judgment system of Italeri's online Contest was not made up of a commission of judges, but was based on the "likes" received by visitors to the Italeri official page on Facebook.
I am very happy that for you my wip is inspirational and recharging.
Thanks again for your wonderful comment.
Ciao,
Giovanni La Rosa
