Re: 1/8 talbot lago t26c

Dan, this is amazing! However, compared to the photo your lettering is on the wrong side of the cylinder cover. On the picture the topmost side have 3 bolts, next one is where Talbot-Lao letters go and the third one is facing exhausts and it is empty. Your letters are placed on the side facing exhausts and your topmost side is empty.

Lovely work Dan!

Did you shape the air intakes from solid bar, or did you use tube?

Ohh...looking at this just makes me feel like an amateur! As the last three posts have used all the appropriate words, I can only add that...it's stunning. Bravo!

Re: 1/8 talbot lago t26c

Now that it's nearly finished ...
what do we do...where do we go..

Its been great watching this grow from raw materials.
it's easy to forget the time added to this build by posting photo's. And the staging of same.

This will be excellent reference material foe anyone building a Talbot lago even if its a Smer base kit.
