Very, very nice. I love these little cars in reality, and was so inspired by your build that I sought out one of these kits for myself.

Always liked the big snake eating the little guy logo too.   

Me too! I love old Alfas.

I love that Tamiya made the glass that way. One of the hardest things I find in model building is trying to replicate a window edge that has a black seal and chrome trim. Your did a great job with it ??. 

I totally agree. More kits need to be made like these.

Super nice work on this classic Alfa (I'm glad I got 3 of them for normal prices when they were released)

I wish I can get another one of these and build box stock!

Superb work Chang. Body mods, paint and detailing all look so rich. You paid dearly for the kit but all your work it really looks expensive!

Message to Helmut: we'rre not happy with you...you bled the market dry man! ?

Thank you!

Having built this kit myself I know it truly is one of the best of that run of classics by Tamiya and DEFINITELY in need of a reissue. Very happy seeing you not only building the Giulia but even going the extra mile to suffer through that transkit.

Thanks! Tamiya does re-release some other Alfa kits and RCs in every couple of years.. one day!

The Alfa is coming along nicely. I love the vibe of this build.

Thank you!

I found a set of Fugimi 14" Panasport wheels that work perfectly with the kit tires & look period correct.  I've heard this complaint before about the wheel/tires being too big.  I disagree.  Thats the whole point for the body modifications to accomodate larger racing tires.

That's gonna look very period correct!

Mercy, mercy, mercy! You've shown how patience and perseverance can pay off. Gorgeous. Waiting with all the others, to see it when done.

Thank you!
