Luis, cars aren't my area... but in a opinion of an ignorant as I am, your Alfa is a masterpiece. Congrats 🙂

Hi Kerry. Many Thanks.
The Alfa of the link you posted is a 8C2300 Monza and the one I made is a 8C2300 Le Mans. They are similar but not the same.
Here you have a link to my web where you can view more pics of my work and the real 8C2300 Le Mans driven by Francis Curzon and Henry "Tim" Birkin in 1931.

Hi Hanno, I have not much experience with figures but I had fun trying to make a figure similar to Birkin and the blue with white polka dots scarf was a peculiarity of "Tim". Here you can see it.
