MFH 1951 Alfa Romeo 159 Spanish GP

Post by Spike2933 »

Hi guys, finally finished the build. All in all, I am very pleased with the results as this was a very challenging kit in several areas, mainly the 42 piece Photo-etched grille.

Always a sign of a good 1/43 build, when it looks larger in the pictures. Great work and a credit to you.

I have a couple 1/43 models from Best, Bang and whoever was around in the mid nineties.. Looking at
these pictures, some are larger on my screen than the actual models. So yeah, what Caterham said,
HOW do you do that and not go mental? I get the fits looking at 1/24 kits...

Great work, really amazing.
Cheers,
Roman

Incredible level of detail, especially given the scale. That grille looks like so much fun...

Thanks guys, very much appreciated. that grille had something like 50 or so PE pieces. I still don't really know how I pulled it off that well. a good whisky also helps to not go mental, lol.
