Alfa Romeo Gulia Street drifter

[Jonny Crumpet 112]

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

Nice. What brand is the body? Same as the Alfa 75 (Killerbody RC)?

[Superluminal 3904]

I thought the first photo was the real thing!

That colour has come out really well.

I thought it was 1:1 for a second there.  Well done!

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.

What a great looking car. Now lets see it in action... And some body off shots.

@Jonny Crumpet I love that color choice too.  Well done.  As posted on the other thread, your car looks better than the real thing!

Yeah, those first two photos had me fooled as well. Nicely done!

It looks awesome, just like the 1:1 version. You got the paint spot on.

I wasn't aware there was a Giulia sedan 1/10.  Pretty detailed body.. who makes it?

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?
