Alfa Romeo Guilia body parts set 1825158

[Raman70]

I would like Tamiya to reissue the body parts set for kit 58307 Alfa Romeo Guilia Sprint. The kit is still available, but the body parts set 1825158 along with wheels 50726 have been discontinued for years.

So if you are an Alfa Romeo lover, an M-Chassis lover, vote and lets get Tamiya's attention.

Good idea Raman70,

I love the Alfa body, but its break too easy on races...
I need a new one, look:

I have these other one, but I buy used and have restored.. Its was painted outside because the inside paint was too cracked...

thats sweet I can see thay on my tt-01d as a drift model

Tuba:

I have 2 myself. One that is painted red for display and one unpainted that is protected with bubble wrap :-)

I like your Alfa collection.. 155 and 156! I used to have both. I wish they would release an 8C Competizione.

If we can convince them to remake it, maybe we can convince them to make it out of a thicker lexan. In the meantime, here are a couple of tips:

1. Buy a big foam bumper and cut it to the shape of the cars front. Makes a big difference.
2. Use Tamiyas aluminium tape to protect the lower parts of body.
3. If you want to really reinforce it, uses fibre glass tape on weak points and glue with epoxy

I voted Yes but I would also like Tamiya to re-release the Miata body set as well. Can't find them anywhere and my brand new body has a bunch of scratches and creases already. I need a spare badly.

[Raman70]

Oi Tuba:

Eu nao sabia que voce esta brasileiro! I speak a little portuguese.. my wife is from Porto Alegre!

[Raman70]

I just realised I placed this in the wrong category.. if there is a moderator reading.. perhaps they should move it to Mini section.

[Formula Mazda]

The Alfa and the Eunos should bothe be Re-Issued! I race Spec Miata and I want to have a 1/10 R/C duplicate. If anyone here has a Eunos (Miata body) that they want to part with, PM me!

[Tuba]

I like the mx5 too!
When I have one body I should paint so:

[GreyMachine]

Yes, PLEASE re-release the Alfa body parts set!

[Tuba]

You have used the 787B decal set, its makes a big difference!

The Giulia with larger width for wheels, racing style. its amazing!

My friend has a Kawada Giulia body for mchassi short. Its has these racing style.
But with these body you can't use the D60 tires :(

Take a look the car running.

[Raman70]

I can never find Kawada parts. I once saw a carbon m04 chassis kit by kawada.. I looked and looked and never found It.

Is the Kawada gta body still available?

I used to have a 1/5 scale and found a 1750GTam body. Ordered it from Italy and learned it's for a short chassis LOL. Had to sell it!

[Formula Mazda]

Tuba... Forza 3... NICE! I actually race against Mazdaspeed and that is the actual color of one of their cars!


Akuntze... I hate you. Just kidding. Its not fair to post something like that! I want the Tamiya Eunos to come back out. Where can i get bodies?

[Tuba]

Does anyone know what the little shamrock/clover decal on the Alfa body is supposed to represent? Seems weird on an italian vehicle.

They call it Quattrofolgio.. (4 leaf clover) It designates the "sport / tuned / racing" version of the car, kind of like BMW's "M", Audi's S line etc.

[Timbulb]

Thanks, now I finally know.

I search on Ebay for Miata/Eunos Tamiya body, but just found the HPI and ABCHobbys one.

FYI... I got the Eunos on Ebay! I also just got a New ALFA! Woo Hoo! Now i need some spare bodies.

[Raman70]

Well it looks like the M04 has been retired and from the looks of things, if this body does make it back, it will be on a FWD M05! :bangin:

Unless Tamiya does make an M06. We shall have to wait and see.

[Raman70]

I suddenly noticed a bunch of Alfa Giulia Sprint / GTA bodies on eBay.

Turns out Tamiya released Alfa Romeo Giulia 84125 body parts set... Sneaky devils! :)

Or perhaps it was always there and I never noticed!

Nonetheless, thank you Tamiya.. And if your listening, how about adding a 1969 Alfa Romeo GTaM :D
