Burning Pain Right Leg

Collezione del Centenario Alfa Romeo # 6 ---------- Alfasud 1.5 ti Quadrifoglio Verde

The sixth output Centenary Collection presents' you Alfasud 1.5 Quadrifoglio Verde 1982. Hopefully he'll be an exception, but this time the critics outweigh the positive aspects already withdrawing from the blisters are noticed a lot of fingerprints and a patina of grease around the model, something that never happened even with the most poor of my purchases, but This can be remedied by removing the (rognosissime) triangular screws and cleaning it thoroughly, more difficult to swallow are the inaccuracies in the reproduction, promptly reported by the experts of the mark on forums Rc Car : starting from the color Blu Posillipo available for you normal but not for Quadrifoglio Verde, we pass by the adhesive strip turned into a molding projecting sills, also without the original red thread, and you end up with the mirror chrome, more particularly, the model is not real.

One would also say something about the pad printing crooked mast back or absence of the emblem on the steering wheel (at least in my model), but not rampant ... , P

E 'likely that the reason for these sin is the hurry due to delays in the design and production, which led to the postponement of SZ and anticipation of this Alfasud (forgetting to change the license plate number that follows the output, among other things ), it must be said, however, that not all sins are to be leaning against the manufacturer if it is true that the adoption of color would come directly from the 'Alfa Romeo .
Well, a few too many distractions and all concentrated on one model: as I said at the beginning, hopefully it will be a defaillance destined to remain unique.

Waterproof Money Holder

Collezione del Centenario Alfa Romeo # 5 ---------- Montreal

The fifth issue of Centenary Collection is the Montreal of 1970: a model rather expected that after a positive first impression, gives up some details that could certainly be treated better. I'm clearly talking about the "eye" on the headlights, solved with a simple pad that does not do justice to one of the most interesting and distinctive styling cues of this Alfa . A pity, because the rest of the play stood, without special flashes, on the usual good standards of achievement.

probably did not want to risk a separate piece that could interfere with the cleaning of the front, with chrome or misalignment of the different shades in color, but still the idea that you could find a more persuasive. The
