Chris Smith Posted March 4 Author Posted March 4 Pierre , thank you so much! Don’t worry I have had my moments of chaos 🤣 Bruce, as always appreciate your support and kind words. Tim, as always your support is very appreciated. I took the picture about an hour after laying down my last coat, I’m going to let it cure a few days before I start the decals. I would like to let you all know, I do appreciate every single one of your comments and for following along on all of my projects. Oh by the way It was Tim that helped decide to share this build with all of you. Thanks again Tim 😁
Chris Smith Posted March 23 Author Posted March 23 It has been a minute since the last time I got to work on the Alfa, welp today was the day 😁 2

1959scudetto Posted March 24 Posted March 24 Chris, this is absolute museum quality ! Can't wait to see the next steps. 1
Codi Posted March 24 Posted March 24 Hey Chris, I wanted to post a reply as well as the emoji but the site just locked up and wouldn't let me nor could I edit it. So I'll just post again and share what a spectacular build again by you. Cheers, tim 1
Rattlecan Dan Posted April 11 Posted April 11 I agree with all. Museum quality build. Mind blowing! 1
Chris Smith Posted April 13 Author Posted April 13 After a few honey doos completed I had some quality bench time this weekend. i was able to install the nose and grill + the exhaust. Also quite a bit of detail pieces. this is where the project will stop at the moment. I will be attending the So Cal Open and I want to show off a lot of the details this kit has before I cover everything with bodywork. thank everyone for the support and kind words. chris 6
Bugatti Fan Posted April 23 Posted April 23 I have been following this build with interest. Splendid model Chris, and well up to your usual standard ! The only other kit I can think of for this car is the very old 1/24th scale Merit kit that was reissued by SMER for quite a while and now from someone else. There may be something in 1/43rd of course that I am not aware of.. 1
Codi Posted Saturday at 09:23 PM Posted Saturday at 09:23 PM Kudos Chris! The pics you've shared are fantastic. I'm curious, of the MFH kits you've built, how do you rate this one in terms of overall difficulty? Oh, and what's on deck for you? Whatever it is, please be sure to share it with us? Cheers, Tim

Cheers, Tim Expand I do enjoy all of the kits I have built, I do like this more than a few that I have done. I think all of their kits have their own unique differences and difficulty. I would have to rate this a 6-7 compared to the 917 that I have not finished. As far as to what is next , it’s a French Le Mans car 😉
