Italeri Alfa Romeo 8C 2300 Monza

This 1:12 scale Italeri Alfa Romeo 8C 2300 Monza (HC-4706) is produced from 100% new moulds and delivers a richly detailed build of one of the most celebrated sports cars of the 1930s. It combines fine detail with robust engineering, featuring a highly detailed engine, realistic suspension and an opening cowling to showcase the supercharged straight‑eight. With 300 plastic parts, 30 chromed parts and photo‑etched details, it offers an advanced, rewarding modelling experience. Rubber tyres and a colour instructions sheet are included, alongside screws, tubes, rope and a nylon net to enhance authenticity.

Regarded as a landmark of its era, the Alfa Romeo 8C took its name from its in‑line eight‑cylinder, 2336 cc supercharged engine. Valued for cutting‑edge technology, innovative solutions and impressive performance, it was also praised for reliability and driveability—qualities that helped it to numerous international racing successes. The 8C is closely associated with Tazio Nuvolari, whose victories included the Targa Florio and the Italian Grand Prix at Monza, giving the twin‑seater GP car its enduring “Monza” designation. Following its racing triumphs, almost 200 production vehicles were made for general sale.

Combining plastic, chromed and photo‑etched components with hardware elements, this kit is designed to capture the character of the racing original. The opening bodywork invites careful finishing and display, making the completed model a striking centrepiece for classic motorsport collections.
