eh eh Ben,
U right and also to me sound strange i had to scratchbuild a small submarine named "Sommergibile Sassaroli" coming from a secret project (of this one only we have few drawings coming directly from their archieve).
It was Alfa developing it during 1944 (almost all the models i build are mainly from second world war..or racers ones, cause i prefer them than modern ones)and at
web page address u can see my work on that.
this piece was done probably in the same way of the small german fast subarines of second world war ,but the italian one never see real production.
Build it was a challenge and also i decided to finish it in a small Diorama to keep this alive (including a fat worker near it.. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif),cause i do not like just finished models, but prefer "tells a story" ones..
From the news i know now, seems alfa Romeo want to prepare a travelling around the world museum, using all my models,this due to the great number of Alfa romeo collectors in canada, Usa and rest of Europe (consider the historical "Museum of Portello" doesnt exist anymore....damn.. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif)
I probably will finish all the models scheduled for the end of 2006 or early 2007 (i still have about 100 models to make,several of them to scratchbuild)
The last work i finished for them is a boat racer "Idroscivolante" used in 1927 for Pavia Venezia race, povered by Alfa romeo airctaft engine
