The engine in this particular Abarth is a bored and stroked 600 motor, complete with pushrods; adding Webers and high compression gives 112 hp at 8200 rpm, compared to the stock 22 hp.
Of course it was probably completely gutless below 5000 rpm.
The kit is decent and includes little Abarth PE emblems for the valve cover and oil pan.
Moving on to the body, paint is AS-5, Luftwaffe Light Blue (actually more of a grey-green to my eyes) and TS-10, French Blue. Some cleaning up of seams followed, then decals and PE trim before a coat of clear.
The windows include PE frames that are a very nice fit. The time required to cut the windows out of the sheet of clear provided and get them all to stay put is quite high, however.
So what's next? Stay tuned!
