The Dark Knight Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Nice, I'd love to see cars with body shells like this race instead of the usual jelly mould. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atom3624 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Words UGLY and Alfa never seem to coincide, until now. Excellent model and very interesting. Al. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrickyTris Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Words UGLY and Alfa never seem to coincide, until now. I think it's much prettier in red.. Wouldn't you say? Personally, I think its a great looking car for being 20+ years old. The shell doesn't quite look right to me though, I cant tell if its the paint job putting me off or they've over-exaggerated the front bumper? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PraetoR Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 ^^ That's the exact shell I'm after. REALLY want that red 155 DTM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atom3624 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Better in red. You're right, the bumper's too big. Unusual for Tamiya, but perhaps its to permit a production foam underneath, and not have to cut a new one .. or just body / mould / release reasons. I do remember the 155 V6 when it came out, and liking it, but it is SQUARE! Al. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrickyTris Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 You're probably right there - no doubt it's intentional! Maybe if they dropped the front of the shell down 1 notch on the body posts, it would have a better stance & overall look to it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PraetoR Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I LOVE old-school square cars. They're manly and aggressive. Modern styling has gone too feminine for me. My pride and joy, for example. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Why is the back end a different shade to the front end?? Been welding stuff together in the garage again??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PraetoR Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 No no, that's just the reflection of the hedge in the garden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbhaze Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Nice to see the forgotten cars are being dug out and turned into models. Have to hand it to Tamiya, when they do take a brave step, they go all in. This will certain be a shell for my collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
