Made in Italy

Oh, my! I almost forgot about these:

Guess I have more Italian stuff than I thought!

I have to say I’m pleased about the level of interest, AND the amount of diversity of subjects. When I posted it I thought, if only a couple of people are really interested I wonder if there is a way to pull it back? But I don’t think there will be ANY need to entertain that thought.

I look forward to seeing what folks contribute!

Wow, you have the Alfa Giulia 1750 from Gunze! I have two kits from Tamiya, planned to build one of them with extended sides (bought an A/M set for that).

Also built the Lancia Delta Integrale a couple of years ago - the car looks gorgeous with that livery, although I had to buy A/M decals as the originals aged badly.

However if I would choose, the Alfa would be the winner over all other on that photo.

I am going with this, but as a Beutepanzer:

Cool, but you realize the build doesn’t start until the start of the year?

Right. But why didn’t you reply that way to everyone else who posted a pic?

Because you posted the time with your pic so it made me think it was a start pic. Forgive me if I overinterpreted…

Oh, that makes sense. That was up for some other kits I took a pic of but you wouldn’t have known that.

I have an edge case for you… Does, “Made in Italy”, include models physically manufactured in Italy? For example, is any model by ESCI or Italeri, “Made in Italy”?

It is not my intention to cause trouble. It is more of a philosophical musing.

If that is the case I need to get a Monica Bellucci, best Italian model of anything IMHO :joy::rofl::face_savoring_food:.

How weird, I was just thinking the exact same thing

It was my intent when I posted it for subjects made in Italy rather than kits made in Italy. Did we do a campaign a couple of years ago of made in Ukraine that were kits manufactured in Ukraine? I see the possibility for confusion.

Just check if a downloadable 3D file is available to print. But pls be careul, a 1:1 would be a long printing process under strict control from a landlady. :slight_smile:

My intended entry for this groupie. Never built a flying boat before, let alone an Italian job, so this will be a challenging project!
