both race GTV6 resin kit models are made by SC Modelli ItalyI have had a closer look at these 2 GTV models and looked at the bases and there is no sign of a manufacterer`s name any ideas ???
So do we think that the numbers are in-correct or correct ?
They both have detailed interiors aswell, not built to the highest of qualities but still very good...........

This Belgian Luigi Racing no25 has been issued by Progetto K die-cast ref 267 aswell, raced 1984 on Autodromo Vallelunga near Rome.I think this is the same Luigi racing car with different numbers.
They are real racingcars from the early 1980's
Sorry for the poor picture!

Excellent result on that 33 Stradale! Even with the rubber seal included and all this in 1/43. Amazing! I just love the half opened side window of the TZ2 too!I have been paying much attention to the windows issue over time. The way I solved the problem was different in each case. Quite often, I replaced the vacuform windows with shaped clear plasticard. When the window is bent in 3D, my technique could not work. BTW, another fellow of the Alfamodellando forum recently illustrated the creation of home made vacuformed windows with a wood master slightly larger than the window opening, plasticard, a hairdryer, and paper clip to force the softened plasticard around the master. See here.
On my side, when I could not replace the usually too small windows, I have been using different tricks. I seem to remember that the Provence Giulietta SS you picked from the forum was not a big problem, because the windows did fit pretty well and fine adjusting was enough.
Special cases I recall were the TZ2 below on page 1. I custom made the side and rear windows, as the rear one was very much too small. Only the third or fourth attempt did fit. Since the windscreen was 3D, I cheated with some putty aronud it to have the body coming down to the window instead of the other way round.
The most original solution I found for the 33 Stradale Tenariv on page 2. Windows were all much too small, but "fortunately" the body casting lacked the windows chromed frames. So I kept the "small" windows and used thin copper wire shaped to fill the gap between the windows and body, and then painted chrome and rubber seal. Even the doors windows lacked the frame, but there it is wider and flat aluminium. I then used thicker copper wire for it's easiness to shape and flattened the pper surface.
Wonderful work! We all know how hard it is to get the result you have in mind. your solutions sound quit easy but than again: this is scale 1:43!Thanks for the praise!Using Google translations I found out that you're an inspired builder as well. VERY inspired sometimes, 120 hours of work in the 75, wow!Thanks to all for visiting and appreciating.
It's a 30 years seek, still going , and currently at circa 850 pieces, ranging from Fabbri kiosk series up to the CIJ and Rivarossi trolley.
I especially noticed the perfect fit you can archief on kits with vacuform windows, as in the photo below. I'm very curious, how do you do this?

Amazing, simply amazing! How did you get it rounded so well? Was this done when fitting it in the body, or before?
Ziet er netjes uit hoor. Wat voor randjes hadden er dan nog bij gemoeten?Heb de randjes er wel niet opgedaan want tis toch wel een heel erg precisiewerkje en niet meteen mijn sterkste punt maar ben toch heel blij met het resultaat
Hey, now you can figure out why it took me 120 hours for the 75. , and I ended wondering about my mental health...Amazing, simply amazing! How did you get it rounded so well? Was this done when fitting it in the body, or before?
