Here is my Deagostini mp 1/8 scale 4/23 with its baby brother the Tameo 1/43 mp 4/23.I am not sure if it makes the 1/8 scale look even bigger or if it makes the 1/43 look really small. darbyvet attached the following image(s):

Very nice  That's not much bigger than the wheel of the 1/8.
Looks like a great little kit to build but a bit tricky being so small.

Very nice Carl, I love how tiny the 1/43 one looks in comparison

Lovely work on both models Carl and I am impressed at what you've achieved with the Tameo 1:43 kit, that can't have been easy in such a small scale especially as the chrome paint on these McLarens is so difficult to replicate even when done in a larger scale?
Very well done and they look great when displayed together!!

Thanks everyone,
I was going to use Alclad Chrome on the 1/43, but you need to buff it and that would not be possible because it was so fragile bits would fall off so I used Tamiya silver leaf.Some of the decals were only 3mm big though!

Amazing work! It really looks great! And I really like the display case...did you make that yourself or buy it?
