Alfa Romeo had returned to sports car racing in 1967 with the purpose-built Tipo 33 coupe. Powered by a two liter V8, Autodelta (the competition arm of Alfa Romeo) developed the car originally as a class winner. But a rule change that came into effect at the start of 1968 made overall victories definitively possible. With the new rules for 1969, the engine was expanded to 2998 cm\u00b3 with 4 valves per cylinder and a Lucas fuel injection system, producing 420 hp. But with the bigger and more powerful engine the current space frame chassis became an issue, so a brand new, full length aluminum monocoque was developed. And with the new engine and new chassis, the T33\/3 was born.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"T33\/3
Livery issues aside, a VERY nice model.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Autodelta had in total four T33\/3 works cars enrolled in Le Mans in 1970, but all retired. The T33\/3 #38 (chassis #75080-009) was out of the race in the 5th hour because of an accident. This is my third soft shell 1:43 and first TSM, and though the detail level is VERY good, brilliant in fact, I\u2019m a bit disappointed. I was expecting something like my last Spark<\/a>…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"T33\/3
On #38 that roll bar should have been GREEN.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
On all the pictures that I\u2019ve found of the car in the race, those thin stripes on the front around the number plate were green<\/a> <\/strong>and not red\/orange. Same thing for the roll bar behind the cockpit. I did find ONE photo<\/a> of the car where the stripes were orange (though the roll bar was green). However, this particular photo of T33\/3 #38 was not during the race. Also, the rear wheels should be more of a golden color and not silver. This is my first TSM, and until now I had it in high regards. But this SNAFU let me feeling a tad let down. A shame, because detail level is outstanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"T33\/3
Flat tires – leave the car long enough on the plinth and that’s what you get.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
And one thing I have to show. The display case and plinth are top-notch, just as good as the ones that came with my Sparks. BUT, look at the tires: they\u2019re flat on the bottom. Even after I removed the car, they were still flat. Even worse, there was a kind of oily liquid beneath the rubber, so the rubber was interacting with the plinth’s material. I always feared leaving cars too long on the plinth exactly because of this. So if you have models in this situation I can\u2019t recommend strongly enough for you to check your tires<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
