Ah The Alfa of Bruno! Superb build! As a trackside/spectator and airfield marshall at the Silverstone Race Circuit just 5 miles I remember both the car and driver in the day!Superb racing in those days!

This is one sweet work!  Brilliant work, I may add! 

I love the quality finish and the photography is also excellent!  Also great job applying decals to the bare metal, I can hardly see any transfer film edges!

Hi Patrick,

thank you for ypur comments !

Yes, I too saw Alfa Romeo race live during the Monaco Montecarlo Grand Prix in 1980. I was on the grandstand after the tunnel and I was impressed by the noise of the engine, much louder than 12 cylinder Boxer Ferrario but, less shrill tha the 12 cylinder matra, wich ran in the same race !
