stevieboy2 Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Hi All Things have now settled down and new modelling shed now up and running with this Alpine A210 being the 3rd? model I'm making in it, This was a chance find at kingkit.co.uk and I wasn't looking for it but as soon as I saw it I thought why not it will be a laugh and its full detail not bad for a kit that must be at least 50 years old body has been cleaned and painted some bits have been built but more on that later Thanks for looking Steve 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MR2Don Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 The early "real" Alpines up to, but not including A310, had beautifully shaped bodywork. Didn't know a model of a A210 existed, I've got two A110s, one as street spec, one as Monte. I'll actually build them one day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MR2don Heller reissued it some time ago and you will probably find it easier than 1 of these early kits but I have to admit I'm getting the urge to find an early kit of the A110 anyway thanks for looking Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiny Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 That's looking good in a very short space of time. I'm guessing you already have plenty of reference material, but just in case it helps, here's a pic I got of one at Le Mans (I have about 3 others all taken at night and only this one in daylight ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
