Tamiya 1/24 Alfa Romeo GTV (1996) Twin Spark 16V
Well, I'm bored so I'm starting another build - another Tamiya wonderful rendition of the cool Alfa GTV. After all, I was dreaming of having this time to stay at home and have the time to build all these kits, so now is my chance! Maybe the pile won't look so big when I'm done...
If at all possible, I always try to get original release of the kit. For authenticity, best copy of the parts, etc. This one is no exception - an original 1996 release in a beautiful slightly worn box:

This is a full detail (with engine) kit*, there will be some tasty bits to look at after.

Decals are slightly yellowed, but not bad overall:

No detail sets available for this kit, but it does come with these small metal stickers

The color would be Alfa Rosso Proteo Metallic.
