The Alfa Romeo 155 V6 Ti from the DTM series is one of my favorite model cars, so I couldn't resist and, just a few days after receiving it, I immediately placed it on my workbench. Actually, I was looking for a way to relieve the pressure from various events in my daily life.

The MFH kit

The kit seems more refined and of better quality compared to the McLaren F1 GTR kit, for example, which I had built some time earlier. A clear indication of this is that I have seen several completed by modelers, while the McLaren remains a 'rara avis.' Apart from the version I built myself, there may be others, but to date, I haven’t seen them.

An initial inspection of the contents reveals quite a few resin parts and fewer metal ones compared to the brand’s older kits. There are plenty of photo-etched and aluminum parts, along with two large sheets, one of which includes carbon decals for the exterior surfaces.

Of course, as is usual with every MFH kit, the 155 requires attention and dedication. The build was initially slow, as I only worked on it on weekends while also spending time on the Countach I was building. Later, it became a full-time project.

Construction

I started the build by placing the floor on the workbench. In addition to the necessary cleaning of flash and other mold marks, many holes were drilled.

Next, I worked on the partitions that separate the fuel tank area (the trunk in the civilian version) from the cabin. Here I encountered the first error in the kit, as this piece should actually be a single part. Unfortunately, the two halves cannot be pre-assembled and then placed due to the angle of the wheel wells. Furthermore, if the top part were installed, it would later block access to screw in the differential, suspension, and part of the roll bar that goes in the trunk area. So, I would have to fill, sand, and paint it 'in situ' after placement.
