Alfa Romeo Giulietta SZ: Complete (#19 for 2020)

Another one done; not one of my best but pretty decent.


The novelty was opening up the door and hinging it.


Very subtle grilles. The paint scheme is that for the #34 car, driven by Giancarlo Sala and Romolo Rossi, that dropped out of the 1963 Le Mans after 155 laps due to gearbox failure.


The SZ was not as successful as the TZ that followed, but the progression is obvious. The motor here is is the 1570 cc four with 4 spark plugs. The TZ had the twin-plug head (8 spark plugs all together) as well as the tubular chassis (Tubolare, hence the 'T').


The Profil 24 and Model Factory Hiro kits represent two different visions of resin or multi-media kits.


The TZ finished 13th overall, 1st in the GT 1.6 category in 1964.


Stay tuned for more!
