Bugatti Divo – with highlighted details even better !

caapa · March 30, 2020

The Bugatti Divo 1:24 by Maisto is a very beautifull model. I specially like the carbon simulation. The semi mat dark grey with the light blue is showy. The inside is decorated with light blue too but much less as on 1:1 original. In fact there are details in plastic black – but the colors are missing. Well I know most of these would be too expensive to paint in mass production. Even some ones are impossible to make without freehand painting. That is a good chance for hobby modelers.

So I dismount the Divo and the first I saw the hood is manufactured with hinges to open. (like at the Bugatti Chiron engine compartment) Only a beam is riveted inside on hood to block the function. The beam went in trash.

The lightblue color was in action inside mostly:

- on the steering wheel both side, in the middle and a strip on top,

- on the inside of top and A-pillar at drivers side,

- the gearshift with chrome on top,

- ornaments on dashboard, middlekonsole and door panel at copilots side

- above part of right side seat.

- on the outside the top edge of vents above and the spoiler boards behind the front wheels got only lightblue.

Little additions were the middle line of the seats made of 0.7 mm paper strips glued by transparent paint. Drivers side is lightblue of course, the other black. Indicator lamps in the outer rear view mirrors. Doorhandles , inside rear view mirror and pedals are chromed. Rearlights in diffusor are painted red and the exhaust with steel-metalic. The bottom of trunk is a black cardboard.

Enjoy the pictures.
