Votes for paint scheme on Alfa giulia?

[Jonny Crumpet 112]

Hey all,

After building my first car kit the MF-01X escort. I bought an L&L Alfa Romeo Giulia body shell that will sit on a XV-01 or TT02s when avaliable. I have been thinking about how to paint it. Some points to note. It will be one of if not my first paint job as the escort came pre-painted. I may get another kit first to have a go on. But below are some images of ideas.

I do like the official racing colours, but it may be beond my skill set to do from scratch.

I also like metallic red with dark grey decals ( avaliable off the shelf ) o could do the roof in carbon or matt Black / dark gunmetal.

Let me know your thoughts.

Also if anyone can help with alfa wheels like all the below that would be ace.

Wow almost can’t go wrong with any of those. Forced to choose, I would go with the last one. I don’t love the huge Alfa logo on the others, but that’s just me. All of them look pretty sweet, and I love non-box art.

That second photo reminds me of my old 146. It had a similar sticker across the rear screen when I went to view it. Bit silly on a boggo 1.6 boxer.

Those telephone dial rims are pretty extreme and I've not seen them on an RC. Not saying they aren't out there but!

I did find some Y spokes that I think would look cool sprayed black

I didn't stick to one colour for my first paint job but it pays to take your time, watch lots of painting videos, make sure you are happy with your masking and probably invest in Tamiya masking tape.

Of the race car liveries, the red and white of pic 4 harks back to the old Giulia liveries and I like it for that reason.

Gunmetal looks mean though!
