Jonny Crumpet 112 Posted June 18, 2021 Sorry I did not document the build. Thanks to toyolien and Superluminal for help with axel parts. I may still change the wheels to to Gunmetal aloys with treaded drift tires 14 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Superluminal 3750 Posted June 18, 2021 I thought the first photo was the real thing! That colour has come out really well. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Re-Bugged 10156 Posted June 18, 2021 Beautiful job 👍🏻 Stunning. So you decided to leave the flared wheel arches off in the end 😉? Now all you need is to display it on a slow turn motorised lazy Susan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Badcrumble 4204 Posted July 15, 2021 Hi @Jonny Crumpet, a friend and I were talking Alfas today and I was showing them the pics of yours. It got me looking for wheels. Would this be any good for you? Perhaps you’d already seen them? At 52mm are they the right diameter? https://www.shapeways.com/product/NW894AQL2/2002-alfa-romeo-147-gta-1-10-rc-wheel?optionId=41966177&li=marketplace Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
