Nice to this version Marcus ! I´m bulding this too. I can see that you didn´t use the resin hood from the Reji decals set. My hood was to "small" so I had to glue plasticcard on the sides and the back. but the fit is long way from perfect. Yes, it´s a very nice kit, no major problems , only my set of nuts and bolts for the wheels didn´t match. Thomas

Thanks Rich and all of you ? The Per Eklund decals is now on it´s way so I have started to prepair the bodyparts for camel yellow. some more modifications on the front bumper is also made. more later ?

Hi This is my Swedish version of the Bugatti, in that era cars raced in nation colors. Body painted with spraycan Tamiya TS-10 french blue and TS-47 chrome yellow and Tamiya clear. I also have a WIP on this build. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/177412-italeri-bugatti-35b-112/ Very nice kit ! I will do another version later. Thomas

Thanks for that info Thomas ?

Hi Tomas, your 3D fasteners is very interesting! Is it for sale ? I tried to fix this wire on my build but not satisfied at all, but I have one more kit to do later so your fasteners looks very tempting ?

Hi I got help with makin 3D printed gravel tires, looks so much better than slicks on a winter rallycar ? Tack för tipset Anton ! Thomas

Hi. S**t happens ? When overspraying the main bodypart with clear I dropped it to the floor ! After I calmed down and the bodys varnish had cured I sanded it down and used fullprimer to fill in the small scratches.. didn´t work at all? So I put the part in brakefluid for a few hours, and then the paintjob started all over again. I have painted the steering wheel with artistspaint and then Humbrol clear, added some more nuts and screws on some parts. The seat has a got an old wallcovering with a leather surface. More later Thomas

Thanks Pierre ! I´m glad you like them ?

Found him ? Waiting for answer now

Hejsan ? Have no studtires, I´ll contact him ! thanks ?

Hi. You can use styrene sheet instead, I had that in my mind but I pressed the etched panel a few times to the floor and finally I thought it looked ok. I added a footrest to the left on the drivers side, not provided in the kit as you know.

Looks fantastic! The wire will be tricky for me...

Thanks Noel ? Do Nick have a website for this ?

Hi I have put this kit on hold for a while , Reji decals is releasing a decalset for Per Eklunds car from the Swedish Rally in 1989. So just now I have the body parts left to do, I will not paint them before I know I will get the decals. I have replaced bolts to metal in some places, also added wires, braided lines, rivets , hoseclamps . I also modified the oilcooler with braided lines. Replaced the dash suports to the floor, also used photoetched welded lines on the exhaust. Replaced the seatbelts to a little narrower kind , the kits belts look to big/broad to me. The kit itself is very good, enjoy building it. But one problem is that the screws and nuts for the wheels didn´t match !? Another builder I know had the same problem. I contacted Italeri about this. Thomas

Hi A little update on the Bugatti. The dash is now in place and the bulkhead/torpedowall, don´t know the real name for it in English ? I hope you know what I mean. Added some copperwire and made some supports for them, replaced a plastic spring to a real one. replaced bolts and screws to metal. More later Thomas

Hi, I belive you are right about this, I had no idea it was in leather, found more pictures and it seems its not metal anyway, I will try to paint it, if it looks like c**p I have to live with it ? ?

Hi, I use Tamiyas weatheringsets, two kinds of rust colors there.

The fuel lines from the gastank is by me, there are very good refs of the car on the net , mainly from restored ones . So I try to build it in a way that I belive is right, but some artistic freedom is useful on these old cars ? . No major problems on the kit so far, working on the dash just now and I like the look of it.

Thanks ? I used Tamiya panel line yellow/brown and also dilutet artist oilcolors

Hi I´m working on the new Bugatti from Italeri. So far the chassi and engine is nearly finished. I have replaced a lot of hex bolts with metal ones mainly on the engine. Added some lines and other stuff too. Nice kit , so far no problems ? I´m will do a Swedish version in blue and yellow, in that era they raced their cars in national colors. More later Thomas

Yes it´s the new Bugatti 35 in 1/12. So far so good ?

On my way ? Thanks!

Great work Tomasz!!! And the display is as usual awesome ? looks real !!

Like this alot! You spent much time on all your detailing, you must be proud ? Good Work !!

Thanks all ? Andrew you are right about that, maybe the maker can fix that, he maybe will correct the grills shape too. A novice doesn´t notice, but it,s not 100% correct now, I didn´t thought about it before it was pointed out to me
