Very nice work. How was the overall fit on the kit?

Thank you both, Villiers I have to say the fit was superb Italeri did a great job with the engineering. The last parts I added were the two hinged bonnets and they fit like a glove. I was concerned the alignment would be off based on the body parts and radiator installed earlier in the build. I am very satisfied with the whole kit.

I am happy to hear that Joseph. I found the two cars that I completed challenging bringing subassemblies together.

Very impressive 👍 I am very tempted to get that kit - and the one of the Alfa Romeo in the same scale. You have not made it easier for me 😁

Thank you Kenneth I debated between the Bugatti and the Alfa but I could have flipped a coin. I was very impressed with the engineering of this kit, I am assuming the Alfa is similar.

Album info

All the body work and last bits put on, I kept the chrome on the alloy wheels since it looked more realistic than the other chrome parts. The decals went on well and I was happy with how the body came out with just polishing the molded plastic. The straps were a bit fiddily on the bonnet, although the bonnet can open I like the way the straps look on the car and this is how I expect to display it, Overall a great build of a subject I rarely do and in a scale I never did.
