maysula Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 (edited) Hi This is my first 3D printed car, It´s from AMF modelcars in Spain. Liked it very much! There are some issues with the 3D lines that are nearly impossible to remove on some parts. The fit is mostly great. It´s very different to build because you don´t have a manual as you are used to , mostly pictures how it will look when finished, so study the parts carefully. I added screws, nuts rivets, hoses, springs mostly around the engine.some weathering here and there. The seat is scratchbuilt. Painted with Tamiya TS-10 French blue.

absmiami Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 Excellent engine bay finish one tiny criticism - no sidewall detail on the tires … but thats on the kit maker - not on the builder … Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A novice doesn´t notice, but it,s not 100% correct now, I didn´t thought about it before it was pointed out to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugatti Fan Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 Thomas, you have made a superb job of the Talbot Lago. I will be getting an Italeri 35B as soon as possible. It will be interesting to see how it compares with the MFH one. What you have done so far looks comparable detail side to its expensive counterpart.
