I'll certainly be watching this one closely. We don't see enough Bugattis here. Keep us posted.

That paint job looks spectacular, both in the finish you've achieved and in the color scheme.

Fantastic so far.

Great paintwork, hope the rest of the kit is as good as the body appears to be; I'm building the 1/24th LMM GT40 on this forum and the kit is very poor quality, so best of luck with your build.

Re: Bugatti 57G Winner Le Mans 1937

Very nice. I did the Profil 24 1938 Type 57G. It looks great but the wheels were a nightmare to build, although they look better than the LMM wheels when done. I have this kit also and its very well done. I think the big problem with the other LMM kit, the GT40 is resin warping. The body parts are thin.

This LMM kit is very thick.
