Talbot-Lago T26C

Here is the 1/24 Heller kit of the car that won the Belgian Grand Prix in Spa-Francorchamps in June 1949 (pre-F1 championship); old Heller kit I found at a swap meet earlier this year for not much money. It requires a certain attention and a bit of work but is altogether a decent base. Only real addition was the new exhaust pipe that should be a double exhaust pipe. Markings were airbrushed with hand-made stencils, the decals being too old to be useable..

I decided to represent the car weathered, post-race. I like my models dirty..!

Very nice! I’ve got this kit in the stash and a resin grill/engine as well. Painting/assembly sequence has me puzzled. Do you have a build thread on this?

Nice looking build. The hay bales look excellent.

Thanks, S.Hollowell. The bales are quite easily done with foam, PVA glue, static grass, a bit of paint and elastic thread.
