Final build video for the Alfa Romeo 179! This was a challenging model to build for me, but was well worth the effort in the end. Still need to do little things to finish but for now it sits nicely on the shelf in my living room!
I saw these cars race at Long Beach with Mario Andretti and Bruno Giacomelli. Carlo Chiti was there too. Andretti finished third as I recall. Nice job on a rare subject.
Thanks Kenneth...much appreciated...I'm sorry to say I have never seen a F1 race in person...living in Australia back then my friend and I would stay up all night and watch Murry Walker and James Hunt's live feed...that's as close as I ever got! Cheers Mark
Nice looking kit! I have made a couple of the 1/12 scale Protar F1 kits and the fit and assembly can be challenging, certainly no where near Tamiya standards. Anyway watching you through this build will prove very helpful for when I get round to building my 179. Cheers!
Hello golgo13ky... It would be hard to find now! Unfortunately its been discontinued by Italieri. www.italeri.com/en/product/2706 Might be one sitting on a shelf in a hoppy shop somewhere...good luck! Cheers Mark
