Product Explanation ■ Italian "Techno Model" 1/18 As a new item, the model which reproduced the F1 machine "177" which Alfa Romeo put into the Grand Prix in 1979 and the improved model "179" which is the successor of it is appeared.
In this era, the "Grand Effect" which was pioneered by Lotus was at the height of the season, and the aerodynamic device which generates down force by the side pontoon which the space with the road surface was sealed by the skirt was indispensable.
The 177, which was designed by the genius Carlo Kitti, followed the trend, but it was difficult to optimize the effect of the side pontoon because it was equipped with a wide flat 12-cylinder engine.
This time, we prepared specifications which Bruno Giacomelli controlled at the Belgium Grand Prix in 1979 and specifications which Vittorio Blancvila controlled at the Italy Grand Prix.
In addition, the successor model "179" which was controlled by Bruno Giacomelli at the Italy Grand Prix was released at the same time. 179 was equipped with a newly developed 60 ° V12-cylinder in place of the wide flat (180 °) 12-cylinder.
Both 177 and 179 are attractive in their unique round form. The characteristic form is reproduced accurately even in this model.
