Talbot Lago t26c Silverstone 1949 1/12

[maysula]

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.

What a beautiful vintage racer! I love all the detail you added, it really contributes to the realism.

Thomas, I'm completely floored by the quality of your build. Such exquisite detailing.

One of the very best I have ever seen.

What scale is it?

Oh dear

my AmEx card is trembling…

Excellent engine bay finish

one tiny criticism - no sidewall detail on the tires …

but thats on the kit maker - not on the builder …

Thanks all ? Andrew you are right about that, maybe the maker can fix that, he maybe will correct the grills shape too. 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

[Bruce Scully]

This is top class modelling, it looks so right. Well done.

You know that with some posts when you expand the photos you'll expose the cruel underbelly, well  not so with this jewel, it just gets better and better, bravo.

It's a beautiful build! Advanced technology to replicate old technology in scale.

I have to search for something new from you for a long time. But it's worth it every time. ?

[maysula]

On my way ? Thanks!

[ChrisR]

Is that the new Italeri? Mine is on the way, can't wait to see the benchmark you set!

Yes it´s the new Bugatti 35 in 1/12. So far so good ?

[Bugatti Fan]

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.
