Got a start on getting this one together. No idea how it's going to go but we'll get it together in some fashion.

That's it for tonight. Just about got it to a rolling chassis. A few more suspension bits to add. After that I'll pretty much have to wait until I get some paint on the big fender section so I can attach the chassis to the beginnings of the body.

Accomplished a bit more today but we're grinding to a halt due to paint not being done. Chassis and engine are all buttoned up other than some detail painting and touch ups here and there. Sits on all 4 tires so I guess I got the frame pieced together square enough. Enjoying the build, it's out of the norm for me.

Waiting on paint to dry on body panels but this one is indefinitely on hold anyways as the box is being ruthlessly held hostage by my cat Khaleesi. 😂😂😂 I'm going to need that back.

Ah ! You have a furry helper too i see !
1 January 2023, 05:22
Kyle DeHart
Indeed Bob! She loves to supervise and judge me as I'm building. And also always seems to love whichever box I need the most. 😂

I have a orange helper that supervises too !

Can't leave boxes unattended.....squatters!

Bozzer
Yep, no box is safe in my house too! My furry friends are banned from the cave though. Unfortunately, their fur still gets in!

Ben Rocke
beautiful job as usual Kyle - of course, your cat helped..
1 January 2023, 15:47
Kyle DeHart
Don't know how I could get anything done without her help. Lol

That's for sure bossy. She thinks all the boxes are hers.

Thanks Ben, she thinks she's helping.

Bozzer, I don't think I've ever built a model that didn't have cat or dog hair in it! 😂 It's just part of my process now.

Wow, that will be a nice model 👍

Thank you! The body has been drying but I believe I'll get back into it today

The Bugatti is developing very well too 👍

Thanks Daniel!

Made some progress on this tonight. Interior and coach work basically done now. Just the dashboard and steering wheel left, and the front windshield. That all fit together and onto the chassis just fine. The hood is a different story. Some surgery will have to take place there. Dry fitting was hard since the main shell comes in 4 or 5 pieces. Hard to gauge where everything is going to end up.

Very high standard of work.

Kyle DeHart
Thanks Villiers!

bughunter
Your model is very inviting to build more cars too!
3 January 2023, 12:02
Kyle DeHart
Thanks bughunter!

Thanks Benjamin! I saw the red bugatti detail on one engine and that was enough for me to add it.

Dominik Weitzer
this is nice!

And I have seen the original one in the museum in Muhlhausen/France 😉

Guy Rump
Very impressive, following. 👍
3 January 2023, 18:42
Kyle DeHart
Thank you Dominik and Guy.

Bughunter, that's awesome! I don't care for the yellow of the real Berlin de Voyage, hence the cream. I have seen the Weinberger cabriolet type 41 at the Henry ford museum in Detroit Michigan. Really magnificent machines in person. It's painted "oyster white" so I sort of pulled my inspiration from both of those cars.
3 January 2023, 22:24
Daniel Klink
Brillant wow! Fully agree with Villiers 👍
3 January 2023, 22:31
Bozzer
Bloody hell mate, that's come on, leaps and bounds! Personally, I like the white too, excellent choice! Take your time mate, cos this is gonna be a game changer for everyone 👍
3 January 2023, 22:36
Kyle DeHart
Daniel, thank you!!

And thanks to you as well Bozzer! Planning to take my time for sure.

Very interesting build looking great

Thank you Jv!

Ben Rocke
It's a real beauty Kyle - how do you get such good, clean chrome? Everything I've tried ends up lumpy.
5 January 2023, 19:12
Kyle DeHart
And now, the confession. You've caught me Ben. I didn't strip the chrome on this kit. Lol. Unless it was something I was changing to a normal color. So all credit must go to Italeri. It wasn't super thick over the details and on a car like this I sort of wanted the chrome to be over the top shiny because it's a very over the top car. So that's it. That's my subpar modeler confession of the day. 😂
5 January 2023, 19:18
Ben Rocke
no shame ! a case where the ends justify the means.
6 January 2023, 13:43
Kyle DeHart
Thanks Ben. I don't have any shame to start with. 😂🤣 I'm happy with the look of this one. Wouldn't mind picking up the coupe napoleon and getting it on the shelf with this one
6 January 2023, 17:44
Bozzer
I'm still waiting to see you build a semi? If this is your idea of a slight attempt of a kit, I wanna see what you, really can do?
7 January 2023, 02:45
Kyle DeHart
Haha. Thank you, my friend. All my patience and skill normally goes into making small race cars look somewhat presentable. I promise I'll get into a semi at some point. I'd like to give one a try and see how it goes for sure. I do love to build a variety. I love most things with an engine and some things without. Just got to find a decent one. Still holding out hope for one of your recommended Superliners to pop up
7 January 2023, 04:30
Kyle DeHart
Calling it done everyone. First completion of 2023. Thanks for following along. I really enjoyed the build and the kit, while a bit fiddly in spots, really builds into a nice representation of a Type 41. As I said, maybe I build a Coupe Napoleon someday to go with it. Especially after the excellent reference photos Frank shared with me of that real car. All of the type 41s are incredible machines. Glad to add this one to my shelf.
7 January 2023, 04:38
Villiers de Vos
A real head turner. Very nicely done.
7 January 2023, 06:41
Stéphane Jayet
Excellent job. Congrats!
7 January 2023, 08:30
Bozzer
You aced that one mate. Probably my favourite build of yours, so far? The colours blend in so naturally, that they should've done them in that livery, to begin with. 10/10 mate
7 January 2023, 08:33
Guy Rump
Great build! 👍

Wonderful result 👍

Elegant! 👍

Kyle DeHart
Thank you everyone for your kind comments and for following along as I muddled through this build. It was fun and I, too, prefer my color over the historically accurate one!! Bozzer I know it's only your favorite build of mine until I get into a big rig!! Lol.
7 January 2023, 12:30
Bozzer
With 34 likes and counting mate, I don't think I'm on my own in enjoying this build? 🙂
7 January 2023, 12:33
Kyle DeHart
Ha. It has been a fairly popular one. That's true. But it's a gorgeous machine. I have a couple other big old cars with swooping fenders to get to as well. And Frank shared his excellent photos of the Coupe and now I sort of want to build one of those to go with this one. So many projects!
7 January 2023, 12:36
Bozzer
That's what happened to me mate, hence why I have so many projects. But it keeps the brain active, and it's cheaper than having an affair? 😛
7 January 2023, 12:43
Kyle DeHart
🤣 I have a hard enough time keeping the one happy so I'll just keep building models

Album info

OOB build but with my own colors. Kit based off one of the 6 type 41 Royales built but I’m just putting my own spin on it as if another was ordered.
