Tameo is currently undergoing an update of their decal designs, so the final product may differ slightly from the one shown in the product pictures.
This product is supplied on demand. As it is an exclusive product and/or manufactured on demand for each order, it is not possible to cancel or refund it.
This is a scale model kit to be assembled by an adult; it includes all the parts as indicated but it does not include glue or paints, which can also be purchased separately at SpotModel!.
De Cesaris and Giacomelli didn't get really lucky at the USA West Grand Prix, but that doesn't make the car or the scale model kit any less gorgeous. Besides the immaculate decals, the most awesome part of the kit is the bodywork, manufactured with surgical precision in white metal.

Additional details for the Alfa Romeo 179 car scale model kit:

The Alfa Romeo 179 is a Formula One car which was used (in different variants) by the Alfa Romeo team from 1979 to 1982. The 179 made its debut at the 1979 Italian Grand Prix, replacing the flat-12 engined Alfa Romeo 177. During its lifespan there were many versions and 179D version was used for the last time at the 1982 South African Grand Prix. At the beginning of the 1981 season, the 179s were fitted with adjustable dampers and denoted as 179C. A lower 179D was the next evolution and the final version which raced was the fully carbon-fibre 179F. Alfa Romeo suffered a sad loss when Patrick Depailler was killed while testing the car at Hockenheim in 1980. There was also a V8-engined version of this car, the 179T in 1982, which was used for testing the 1.5 L turbocharged engine. The 179's best achievements were Bruno Giacomelli's pole position at the 1980 United States Grand Prix at Watkins Glen and 3rd place in the 1981 Caesars Palace Grand Prix. The car scored 14 points from 61 races.

Undoubtedly, the Italian brand Tameo Kits is the reference in the world of scale modeling for F1 lovers, with hundreds of 1/43 scale models (even some in 1/24 scale) with different levels of detail, from simple models to focus on the most visible parts, to the most detailed models with fully detailed engines... there are even some references including the tools used in the pit box. Their catalog also includes some of the great prototypes of the 70s, street sports cars, as well as a complete listing of spare decals and accessories.
