Talbot Lago T26C 1st Belgium 1949 Rosier Alternative version JAD43169MB Etancelin Monaco JAD43169MC Claes UK JAD43169ME Levegh Express JAD43169MF Hamilton Ulster JAD43169MG Chiron ACF & JAD43169 kit We’ve seen Jade’s Talbot Lago previously as a kit and as Hamilton’s green Ulster entry and here we see those well-proportioned parts nicely built as cars from the Belgian GP in 1949 and ‘50. Rosier was driving a factory entry when he won the race while the following year Pilette drove with his car finished in Belgian yellow. Both models are carefully assembled and the paintwork has a realistic slightly dull finish with crisp panel engraving showing through. As a bonus, on the Pilette car there is a neatly painted driver figure in the comfortable looking cockpit.
A well established range of well thought out kits and hand built models of competition cars, mostly from the golden era of the 1950s and 60s. The kits are generally pretty simple with well cast resin bodies, small numbers of resin and white metal ancillaries and a modest amount of etch. In the case of open wheeled subjects, the etch usually includes most or all of the suspension. Hand builts generally well finished. Made in France.
