Snoopy’s Bugatti

[unclescott58]

Here it is. Less than 24 hours after receiving it, I have Atlantis’ reissue of Mongram’s Snoopy and his Classic Race Car (a.k.a. Snoopy and his Bugatti) built. A fun and easy kit. Built straight out of the box, except I had to paint a few things. Using Tamiya’s TS-30 Silver Leaf spray paint, I painted the grille, exhaust pipe, and the wheel spokes. These items just didn’t look right, being left in the white plastic they were molded in. Other than that, I used a black Sharpie for Snoopy’s eyes and eye brows. 

Like I said, a fun and easy kit. The electric motor works fine. Propelling the car forward and moving his head from side side. I like that the back of the box tell us, that Snoopy is heading off to race at Le Mans. I hope he wins.

Sweet looking car. Atlantis deserves tons of kudos for bringing back vintage kits like yours. I suspect that they still have a few molds to crack open that it purchased from the new owners of Revell back in 2018.

Cool build. Hard to imagine snoopy would drive anything else. Well maybe a golf cart.

He also drives a motorcycle with a sidecar for his little buddy Woodstock to ride in. Monogram use to make a model of that also. I’m waiting for Atlantis to reissue that one.

I won’t argue that point. Thank you.
