An interesting and unusual model. What scale is it? |

Oops , it is 1/24 Scale . I ment to say it is a Duty Dodge Drafter . Still , a nice curbside kit . If I had a correct engine laying around it would be full scale . Thanx.. | |||

Whose kit is this (maker) and what year and model Alfa is it? I've searched my old kit manufacturer's catalogues and can't find it listed. Is it a Heller model? I don't have their older catalogues. I would like to try to find this model. I don't understand "Duty Dodge Drafter". What does this mean? I have a 1/12 scale Bandai 1930 Alfa Gran Sport to build sometime, when I get around to it. I believe that Nuvolari won the 1930 or 1931 Mille Miglia in this type of car but can't find any color reference pictures. I have a few black and white pictures which are mostly of Nuvolari and spectators obscuring the car from view, so my information is limited. Can anyone help? |

This Nitto kit dodged an Import Tarrif Law . It was considered a Toy as it has a barrery box for two AA cells . Also a motor and complete wiring , plus , the appropiate gears . In the barren '80's these kits were available . No parent would spend the time to build this many parts kit to have their fidgit abuse and destroy in a amtter of minutes . As far as the prototype , I only remember it is a 1500 . This Alfa was named for it's engine size . I like the Motorcycle type fenders . The body is a swell time to assemble from the multitude of seperate parts . I would try a Ebay Search for Alfa or motorized kits . Thanx.. | |||
