More practice with the airbrush: The original Alfa Romeo Giulia TZ (dubbed TZ1 in retrospect) of 1964 is shown here with the 2010 tribute TZ3. This version of the TZ1 managed 1st in the GT 1.6 litre class (13th overall) at Le Mans, driven by Roberto Businello and Bruno Deserti.
The TZ2 of 1966 had the same classic Alfa twin cam, twin plug engine in a slightly longer body. My kit of this is on the shelf awaiting a slot in the build schedule.
The airbrush paints from Zero Paints (as on the TZ3) go on matte; the TZ3 will get a couple of coats of gloss clear once I've sorted out few little issues.
It's worth noting that the name TZ refers to Tubolare (as in the tubular chassis) Zagato (as in the carozzeria that designed the body), and while the TZ3 was also designed by Zagato, the chassis is a modern carbon fibre monococque tub.
