This is my finished 1914 Delage Indy car. It is 1:43, from M A Models. I have never been a big fan of 1:43 kits- even less so now. This was a bear to build! This thing is about 3 1/2 inches long!

Holy moly! That is amazing Don. I've never heard of 1/43rd scale before. It certainly looks much bigger than that.

Really nice job Don, as usual.

Beautiful work, hard to believe it is that small.

The kit is a mix of die cast pot metal and cast resin. The casting quality was pretty poor, especially the metal. Plus the metal was a really soft alloy so the parts bent way too easily. Thus I replaced some of the suspension parts with brass rod or piano wire.
Very nice job! I am struggling with the Tamiya Simca kit with the PE on it, and having to break out the microscope. I can't imagine working in 1/43!!

Great Job.
You certainly made a silk purse out of this one .
Say, can I borow your spoke wrench? if you're done with it, that is.

Great job! Nice looking car, It would be cool if they made tires in other colours today!
I remember a time a decade or two ago when one of the tire companies was going to make "whitewall" tires with different colors where the white inset ordinarily went. It was a flop!
