Ferrari 126C4

Not my best work, I need to touch up some of the paint work, finish decalling and add the wing mirrors. It won't look to bad in a display case! Betwean working on this and a couple of other kit's ther won't be any progress on the McLaren for a couple of days, but there should be a big update over the week end.



This is a very old Tameo kit, so no etched wings and very heacy detailing. I love the car though, so I'm going to see if there's a better version available to do in the future.

Very cool, i love old F1's
1/43 models still amaze me.
The paint touch up will concern the part just in front of the side air intakes, right ?

Yup, it was almost impossible to mask, but should clean up OK with some work. I'll also improve the panel lines at the same time. The kit is so basic compared to the F2003GA I'm doing it's hard to get inspired!

Yes the Ga is so fluid compared to this one !
It's annoying ferrari have 1 year of advance on the others.

I have always liked that funky 126C4. Looks great!

Would you consider doing an oil wash on the engine? Great work!

Funky machine, you've captured it's appearance well

The engine is actually quite a lot darker than it came out in the photo, I think 'casue I use a lot of flash the silver paint looked very bright. Thanks for your comment... I feel a bit better aboutthe model now. I've just been looking at it too close for too long I think!
