Hello,
i have started big Project, a different theme for a Diorama, rarley seen.
i will build a Scene from the 1000 miles Race 1931 trough Italy. This was held from 1927 on to 1957, 1000 Miles in one Day ! then it was cancelled, much to dangerous a race on normal Streets with also normal traffic, there where severeal heavy Accidents and dead People. Today this "race" is a historic Event , held on the classic Route but in 4 days.
Okay so, i use the old Matchboxkit Mercedes SSKL as rudi Carraciolas/ Werner Sebastians (Mechanic) Ride to Victory and a much older , around 1966, kit from Pyro for the second placed Alfa 6c with Giuseppe Campari behind the Wheel and his Mechanic Attilio Maroni.
And the Airfix Kits Alfa 8C for Tazio Nuvolaris Car, Bugatti T35 to represent the T37 of Emilio Romano
And not to forget Peters fantastic Wheels !I love 'em !
Here is how Matchbox Kit look, for the Age and Scale not so Bad , i have seen Carkits in 1/24 from Today they look not as good....some Flaws are here, so the fenders where a dark Red not Black, some Details are a bit crude. And some details that are on all Modelkits and diecasts wrong or absence.
So to much holes in the Chassis, wrong Size of Box and Can on the Passengerside, absence from Racenumbers on the Backfenders also the lack of the Registration/Licenceplate on Backside of the cars.
Well the Alfa is another Thing, the overall Dimensions are right, only the Fenders must cut down, but crude Details. See the 2 half Wheels, no Spokes just plain Plastic......
Airfix Alfa 8c to represent Alfa 8C 2300 Tazio Nuvolari / Guidotti, very well detailed, especially for the Year 1975 ! Airfix made the Lungo ( the long ) Wheelbase car that raced in this Form le mans, so first i must cut it down.
Airfix Bugatti, will be the Bugatti T37 Modificata 1100 Emilio Romano / Pirlo, sadly no Pic from the Originalcar....Only real optic change is the Radiator, the T37 uses a smaller One and a big Windscreen .
