Italeri 1/12 Alfa-Romeo 8C 2300 "Helle Nice" Algeria GP 1934

Post by Maysula »

Hi. This is Italeris new Alfa kit. A very good kit without major problems, just some ejection and sinkmarks to deal with. I choose to do the version that was driven by Helle Nice, a female driver from that era, I liked the color of that car
The only modifications I did was that I molded in a rear view mirror and changed the little scoop on the hood. In the Algerian GP she used the #2 on her car so I could use the decals from the kit, I did then paint with a brush the decals with matt white
so it would look hand painted as they were at that time.I have used differnt hex bolts on the engine and dashboard and rivets on the body, the seat covering is made from a wallpaper with an alcantara surface :-). Painting by Tamiya spraycan TS-15 and the lighter shade is
called Ford Olympic blue, a color made for Belkits Escort MkI, thought that looked good

Hi Thomas,

I'm surprised to see this car in blue & need to let this sink in a bit...
Result looks fine with enough detail to get intrigued. Nice build!

Wow, nice model and great livery.

P.S. Can you tell me more information about the small PE set, above the Scale Motorsport bolts? Looks like very useful?
