Bugatti EB110 GT, Heller, 1/24

Nosfer · 04-27-2009, 06:06 PM

Here is my new project!
Actually, heller kit has s lot of mistaces. So i'll try to fix it in this model

So, I hope it will be interesting to AF users.

Lets start!

Good luck! I've always liked this car, but the kit scared me. Its like the Monogram Lotus Esprit...too many mistakes and fitment problems.

Do you have a picture of the box?
I'm wondering how this differs from the regular 'bug'.

Here is the box.

I heared, that Monogram made EB110 too, and that kit mutch better than this.

The Heller kit is also available as an Airfix rebox (or the Heller may be the re-box...).

The previously mentioned Monogram kit is the same kit as the Revell kit

There is a very brief comparison here made while both were still being built.

I've since more or less (kinda, sorta) finished the grey (Revell/Monogram) one. I can get some better comparison pictures up if anyone's interested.

Thanks.
I thought there was a GT version from your heading.
Looks like Bugatti had all the kit companys mold the body in blue and had them put just blue cars on the boxes too.

ahhh, I get what you're saying now.
Actually, the heading is correct.
The kits are all GT versions of the car; the other version is the SS that you were thinking of.

So far it looks great!

Here is update!

And big ugly scratch on the glass

Because of it, I will make driver's window open.

And I thought that the Revellogram Bugatti was awful! Had to take a break from it, just for the sake of my mental wellfare. Hope you will not give up.

This is how mine looks at the moment:

Good work on this one--an often overlooked exotic. I wonder if dipping the glazing in Future would help.

Here is update

Look like you're off to a good start. Keep us posted!
