Alfa Romeo P3

She's finaly finished after thirteen and a half months of and on the bench.
It's a Revival kit that in all honesty, is not for the faint of heart or a novice but does reward care and attention. An example is that it took five hours to de-warp and assemble the chassis alone.
As I wanted to do the six wheelhill climb car of Ruote Gemellat, I e-mailed Revival for two extra wheels and six tyres from the metal version of the kit. They very kindly supplied these and at a very reasonable cost. So my thanks go to them.
I added various details to the model which you can see in the WIP and all of the control rods were replaced with piano wire for better scale.The kit aeroscreen was way too thick, so I made a new one from clear acetate.
