Alfa Romeo 182T Italy Test 1982 De Cesaris
The early 80s was a period of big change in F1 as the teams shifted to turbo power to remain competitive. Alfa Romeo’s first turbo-charged machine was based on the normally aspirated car used during the remainder of the season and only made one public appearance, in practice at Monza. The main external difference to be seen is the shape of the rear deck and this, along with the other body details, is typically well modelled in the crisp metal castings which will require minimal clean-up. Overall the kit is relatively simple, with most of the parts cast, although there are a few extremely fine etched parts for the smallest details. A two-tone paint finish will be needed on the main body and there are very faint ‘cheat lines’ cast in to the metal body so making the masking of this as simple as possible. Well thought out as usual and an unusual subject.
