Bugatti Fan Posted Wednesday at 07:59 PM Posted Wednesday at 07:59 PM (edited) A number of years ago I was given a 1/16th scale Bandai Bugatti Royale kit where much of the kit's bodywork was severely damaged. My friend jokingly said ' You like Bugattis. See what you can do with this!' Long story short, it languished under one of my work benches for about 15 years or so. I was looking at some of the late Gerald Wingrove's work and came across some pictures of his Bugatti Type 41 Royale bare chassis models about three years ago. It inspired me to obtain some of his plans for the car that included detailed chassis drawings, so decided to utilise what I could from that ancient kit and build a chassis model myself. The kit's own chassis was very simplified as most of it was going to be hidden by the kit bodywork. Lots of additional scratch built extra detail parts brought the whole thing to life a bit.
