MP4/6

Built this five years ago it a from the Tameo WCT line. I posted it before but recently updated the base am using a better camera. I added lots of upgrades to an already nice kit. I built several 1/12 Tamiya MP4/6 commission builds over the year so I used that experience to transfer to this 1/43 version.

I'm currently building a Tamiya 1/12 MP 4/6 and I thought some of those parts were small. I can't believe you get so much detail in a 1/43, Very nice work.

Nice build! I love the MP4/6, yours doesn't even look like 1/43!! I haven't tackled any 1/43 yet, only 1/20 but I think I won't be able to do so much detailed work on such a small scale! I need a pair of new eyes. So, hats off to you!

It was very challenging to get through I almost gave up on it on several occasions, but being a fan of the driver and the car kept me pressing on.

It is a very tricky kit, biggest problem is to allign everything that the cowling can slip on it, i had to sand of material from the inside of the cowling the first time i build it. Got one left in my stash for my own cabinet, maybe one day i`m motivated for it, i will put it on the bench. Nice build so far.

That's very good! Looks like 1/20 scale in the photos. And all the CF work! I admire people who can build this small.

Cheers, Chris
