I like to have several things on the go at once so I've pulled this one out of my pile to have a go at along with the Pocher Alfa. We'll see how it goes.  roymattblack attached the following image(s):

Thanks Ken. On we go. I've made a start on the body tub. All sprayed ally silver and then masked so I could spray the red canister on the side. I could have brush painted it but I prefer a spray finish wherever possible. I only ever use a brush for tiny details. Parts of the fire system were also sprayed, wiring and pipework added and installed. Front suspension parts and dashboard next. roymattblack attached the following image(s):

Thanks for peeping in and the comments chaps. I've made a start on the inner tub. All de-flashed, primed and painted ally silver and gunmetal. The cockpit front, upper sides and suspension supports have now been covered in Bare metal foil. A much nicer look than paint. On we go. roymattblack attached the following image(s):

After the Jubilee weekend, I'm back on the little Alfa. (OK, 1/12 scale but to me, it's little...) Front upper suspension parts sorted and in place. Cockpit inner to fit next... roymattblack attached the following image(s):

Thanks for looking in Ken. More on the main body tub. Upper front suspension added, pipework routed through, dashboard painted, decalled and fitted and the main bits now put together. Lower front suspension, uprights and hubs next, then begin on the engine. roymattblack attached the following image(s):

An overdue update on this one. I've built up the engine and rear suspension etc and it's now attached to the main body tub. Using web reference I've added a lot of extra wiring between the cockpit and the engine using fine different coloured computer cable. So far I have to say this old kit is incredibly well engineered. I've rarely come across a kit with such well fitting and finely detailed parts. On we go... roymattblack attached the following image(s):

Many thanks Ken. Another update - I haven't been doing a lot of model work just lately - far too warm to be sitting in my hadey-hole. Out in the garden with the BBQ, cold wine, beers and cider... Anyway, rattling along with this now. Only the upper body panel decals to add then it's all sorted. roymattblack attached the following image(s):
