Let me check the stash. Will PM you if I find something.

April Fools?

Cool build. Any plans for the rest of the Bugatti? PM me.

I'm partial to blue- flat or shiny?

Stance! Fuel injected flat head! Need warmer weather to do more priming.

I saved mine up and glued them together for a tool holder.

Great pix and a lot of beautiful models! Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for sharing- couldn't make it this year, had a COPD flare up- better now!

I also really like the front end treatment, and it's always nice to see matching boats!

Love everything about it! Outstanding engine engineering, super clean building, and great paint!

Sweet! Love the proportions you achieved and the interior is really nice! Great job!

Any other trade suggestions? Pix of the back, could also send pix of fronts.

Looks promising!

Nice work rescribing the panel lines behind the interior for the convertible top. Chassis work is awesome- looking forward to the shortened wheel base!

Nice model of a car I haven't seen before. Great little engine!

Thanks for sharing! Nice pix!

Nice weathering on the racer!

Got the 39 hood sectioned- still needs a bit of tweaking. Shot some primer, things are starting to look good. Created the new window profiles from 0.060" stock and bent them into place after rescribing the door lines about 4 scale inches back. More putty, sanding, and checking, then more primer!

I have several very old whitewall tires suitable for restorations. Will swap for Revell Model A banjo steering wheels, dropped beam axles, Ardun heads, shock absorbers.

Had a great trade with dust collectors- would do it again!

Putty, sand, putty, sand, check, repeat for quite awhile....................................

Progress! Trunk lid is in place using liquid styrene cement. Next will be reinforcing all joints with super glue. Everything else withstood the cutting and handling to accomplish this. After the super glue is dry, time for putty throwing!

After all the glue hardens, next is cutting and repositioning the trunk lid. After that- putty!

Made patch panels for the sail pillars after bending in the rear of the window openings using 0.010" x 0.060" stock. Lots of filling, blending and sculpting to do. Also laid in some stock in one wheel well- still needs sanding and blending- to cure a gap problem. Just for fun, decided to create a peak using 0.040 rod stock- this will be filled and blended and continued down the trunk lid.

Great model! Love the engine detailing! One of the great classics brought to life!
