Can you believe I can't remember the colour of the car in question?
My inclination is for blue.

Now showing CAD images of the Alfa 155. I think this is the skinny bodied version. It looks like it’s 4x4, too. Does this make it the Lancia Delta Integrale-based one? was there another 4x4 155? I can’t remember now. Anyway, it’s here:
not sure the rear wheel arch is quite right, but the rest looks good. Was never a huge 155 fan until the wide-bodied cars arrive, so will wait to see pics before I decide to get one or not.

Interesting. CAD pic of the Alfasud:
Just as Cult Scale models announce exactly the same car.

Any link, or just a coincidence?

Could be a coincidence alright.
The front splitter on the Cult doesn't look quite right to me.
It looks too short, not reaching down as much as I remember (I must check my excellent 1/24th scale Alfa series version).

It's still way better than the earlier plain Jane KK model.
The whole front of that thing is a mess.

Not sure about the shape.
Agreed.
It looks (from the images) as though the resin was left too long in the oven, causing the model to compress by about 10%.
And also to warp the shape front to rear, making it a look a bit like a banana.
Bloody hell, why are the ones who can see this issue - and not those who are supposed to do it?

that said… having looked at it again, I’m not sure Minichamps has the shape right, either :-(
You're right!
Dammit, I hadn't noticed.
The door on the Minichamps is also too tall, particularly at the rear - causing the rear end to be slightly out.
The front end looks better though.
Still, if I didn't see this before I will try to forget it.... :>)

Apologies, I can’t post the image, but there’s a promising looking 1:18 of the supremely elegant Fiat 130 Coupe on its way:

Laudo’s on a roll! Panda Sisley prototype looking good:
A real niche car.. the last large one from Fiat I think.
Probably not competitive with german ones, but 70s really killed italian ones.
I don't like it very much, but for sure its design is interesting and innovative.
130 coupè is just a few years younger than Dino (I think it deserves a good model!), but it looks from a total different era.
