Italeri 1/12 Alfa Romeo 8C/2300 Roadster - Classic Open-Top Performance in Miniature

The Italeri 1/12 scale Alfa Romeo 8C/2300 Roadster captures the spirit of a 1930s performance car. The Alfa Romeo 8C was equipped with an 8-cylinder inline supercharged engine displacing 2,336 cc, a configuration known for delivering competitive speed and dependable operation in period racing.

Legendary pilots like Tazio Nuvolari brought the 8C to victory at events such as the Targa Florio and the Italian Grand Prix at Monza, earning the GP cars the Monza title. Roadster versions were limited production runs intended for customers who wanted a racing-derived open car for road use.

Detailed Kit Features for Realistic Results

This Italeri kit emphasises period detail and accurate scale fit. The package includes a well-detailed engine, authentic suspension components and rubber tyres to lift realism. Containing 320 plastic parts, 30 chromed parts and photoetched extras, the kit offers a satisfying build process. It also has an opening cowling, functional steering details and a comprehensive colour guide. Note that glue and paint are required for completion.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/12
  • Material: Plastic with chromed and photoetched parts
  • Part Count: 320 plastic parts, 30 chromed parts
  • Features: Realistic suspension, rubber tires, opening cowling
  • Assembly: Requires glue and paint
Fine tweezers, a sharp hobby knife and precision glue applicators make fitting chromed and photoetched parts much easier and reduce the risk of damage.
The kit includes steering components that can be positioned during assembly to give a realistic turned wheel look, but parts must be fixed with care to retain that pose.
Use a bending tool or flat pliers for clean folds, and cyanoacrylate or specialised photoetch glue for secure bonding after dry-fitting each piece.
