Interesting to see. I wanted to compare this to the Smer Alfa Romeo Alfetta kit which has been reboxed a lot. This is clearly a higher quality kit than that one!
The SMER kit is rebranded from Britains comp from England launched in end 1950-tees. So the very begin of plastic kits. Not fair to compare with something from the end seventees. Britains had then an extending line of models, including the Merc Benz W 196 a Lancia open wheeler and some more. These moulds are vanished forever I fear.
Can be built into a very nice model. The engineering of the kit parts not very good. The two chassis parts have to be glued together first. The chassis then to be cut in two halves right behind of the seat. I replaced the grill with metal mesh and made a lot of scratch building. All the best from Norway.
