Italeri 1/12 Alfa Romeo 8C/2300 Roadster - Scale Tribute to a 1930s Icon

The Italeri 1/12 scale model of the Alfa Romeo 8C/2300 Roadster celebrates one of the most celebrated sports cars of the 1930s. Noted for its advanced engineering and racing pedigree, the Alfa Romeo 8C used an 8-cylinder inline supercharged engine with a displacement of 2,336 cc. That powertrain became known for strong performance and race durability across international events.

The 8C enjoyed success behind drivers like Tazio Nuvolari, who recorded wins at the Targa Florio and at Monza in the Italian Grand Prix. The GP car earned the "Monza" nickname, while the roadster versions were produced in limited numbers for buyers seeking authentic period performance in an open car.

Build Quality and Display-Ready Detail

This Italeri kit reproduces the Alfa Romeo 8C/2300 with careful detailing. The package includes a highly detailed engine assembly, realistic suspension components and rubber tyres for authentic looks. With 320 plastic pieces, 30 chromed parts and precision photoetched items, builders can create a convincing display model. The kit also features an opening cowling, functioning steering elements and a full colour painting guide to help achieve an accurate finish. Assembly requires glue and paint.

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
The kit includes a highly detailed engine block with visible ancillaries and plumbing to create an accurate period look once painted and assembled.
Chrome pieces and photoetched details improve realism but require careful handling and precise glueing; tweezers and a fine applicator are recommended.
This is aimed at intermediate to advanced modelers due to the part count and the use of photoetched components; some experience with painting and small assemblies will help achieve the best result.
