ALFA ROMEO 182 1/12 FULL DETAILS B GIACOMELLI
Good evening after more than a year of miss.. Many thanks for F1M friend who support my problems and celebrate the twice victory of my wonderfull wife between the fucking decease.
OK Here we go, and i hope you will support again my awfull english and my crazy try!
here is the beast, and special thanks to JamesB, and Mr GIACOMELLI
I will use scrap trash, some of..somethings.. just largely modified bottom and parts of 179 scrap (90/modification)
after a couple of month of work on it the result is coming. For the V12 i will use moulded parts ol Protar base, and i will considerably try to improve it and why not??? MAKE IT IN METAL!!!! (zamac)
5 angles for the tank with modification
Front work with different crashbox. Not definitive cause bad angle on floor
Large cutting of the old 179 shape. the nose cone is literaly reduced in large, like the mastercouple
Engine cover with first surfacing. So! before rounded him to the top not very simple..
General view before and after front old part modifications
General reforming with volume modifications
and finally today. RE Modification with top of the engine cover sidepods on work uuuhhh all on work... LOT OF WORK!!!!
TBC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good evening best wishes and last post for this year
I have totally reborn the V12 with personnal moulding, re-adjustment and blank building for the chassis.
at the top the old PROTAR
all well inclued in the chassis
The engine cover is well, the other parts are in progress with replacement since first try
TBC!

You re-cast the new engine in metal from the old Protar master? Wow, nice job Cedric.
My wife's mother has also beaten this disease in 2018. I am very happy for you and your family. Congratulations to you both.
I love the 182 shape and color schemes on that bodywork. Someday I would also like to do this car, I have James' wonderful 1/20 kit in my stash.
Best regards,
AJ
