For the more discerning collector and racer alike, the Slot.it Alfa 33/3 is now in Aussie shops. No doubt it will carry the genes of its predecessors but maybe it could do with a motor downgrade to capture a bit more realism and competition on the track

Ordered mine last week....

.....Cant say I was particularly over the moon about the Ferrari releases (nice, but as you say Phil, too much motor for the chassis), but I collected the series because I like this genre of slot models (the DVD "The Speed Merchants" played no small part in this!!!)......

The Alfa though is a pretty sexy looking bit of gear, lovely detail, and I'm sure will be made in the typical Slot.it. quality.

Hi Rob

Good to see you back again

I suspect I will be getting this one too, I have had so much racing fun with the Lancia its untrue. This model calls to me. Perhaps its the lack of body behind the rear wheels.....?

A set of MJK's,some judicious ballasting and a well rubbered board track and not even the much vaunted McLarens and Moslers will keep up with it on our technical tracks down here.

And I'm sure in magnet situations it will dominate!

Ordered mine as soon as i could(slot-it alfa t33)-been waiting many years for this as also the ferrari pb312
We have been using slot-it s1,s on the ferrari and find that a fair bit of lead(13 grams) is required to keep it from searching the clouds
It will be interesting to see if the Alfa is the same

Phil-thanks for bringing back your great site!!!!!
