Tom Geiger Posted February 5, 2020 Posted February 5, 2020 Noel, that's a noble thought, but there are a few things... First, it would have to be a full kit, and there are a ton of parts. It would be a rather expensive resin! It's such an odd bird and odd size that there are no other kit parts that could work with it. Second, I don't know what the demand would be. Third, my copy is so glue bombed, that I don't believe it's a candidate for casting.
Anglia105E Posted February 5, 2020 Posted February 5, 2020 Well, John.......... just when I thought that scale model cars don't come any bigger than 1:8 or even 1:4...... there you go building this HUGE model car, which is less than 1:1, but KId size ! ( absolutely brilliant ). David

Bugatti Fan Posted February 9, 2020 Posted February 9, 2020 (edited) CCBB is such an unusual kit it would be nice to see it resurrected. Any idea roughly what scale it is? Maybe I should have bought one way back when and stashed it away! Edited February 9, 2020 by Bugatti Fan

Any idea roughly what scale it is? Ah curiously gets us all! I just did a quick internet search and the only number that was found in two different web sites is that the movie car is over 17 feet long. Putting my scale ruler against the model chassis, I found it to be 205 inches or 17 feet long in 1/25 scale! Unscientific, but if someone can come up with a wheelbase or other dimensions I’d be happy to measure it off again. It does look huge especially in the seats and such, but 17 feet long is huge!

Bugatti Fan Posted February 10, 2020 Posted February 10, 2020 (edited) Hi Tom, I can remember seeing the actual car on display in a local car showroom where I used to live back in the 60's. You could well be right about the scale. It was enormous. The current owner of the real car is named Chris Evans, an ex BBC radio presenter. He may well have a website or altrnatively be on Twitter or facebook, neither of which I use. Guess that makes me a Neandertal as far as social media goes! Edited February 10, 2020 by Bugatti Fan
