'Ey-up lads! Here's a Power & Glory Alfa from the slow, laid back but meticulous paint shop of your's truly, SJ_Rivet.
First, there's a few things I should mention. My paint jobs do tend to be on the darker and more sombre side of the colour spectrum. I thought I might try to postpone the "Oh, it's one of Rivet's. It'll be black with a few slightly brighter highlights" stereotyping,
so you'd better get your sunglasses out for this one. Also I've never done a reale world paint scheme before, so I thought it would make a change.
About the car.This is modelled on the real world original which you can check out
here. You can also buy it if you have enough beans in your piggy bank (provided it's not been snapped up already of course). The real car has the chassis number AR 613011 and is the first fully aluminium Works Autodelta car. It is said to have been driven to victory by Jochen Rindt in the Sebring Four Hour Race in 1966. (I don't suppose it'll be bargain basement prices then,
)
As it is adorned with Historic Racing logo's, I rather doubt that it would have looked like this when Mr. Rindt was in the driving seat. However, it has been "restored to the original 1965 specification". That being the case I wonder if that means with modern brakes, suspension etc, etc to comply with present day safety standards. As it is race prepared for today's historic racing events, I rather think it will be.
As there will be no more car packs for GTL for which this stand alone might be more suited, it has to be GTR2 P&G. Riv allows himself a wry grin
As I don't have any reference to the car as it was in 1966 in that famous race, I have reproduced the car in the livery that it sports today.
Ok, enough babble! Here's the car:
