Bugatti T 41 Royale Tourer #41100 1926 in 1:75 scale

After the finishing the chassis arose a problem. The factory had no experienced staff and workshop for building such a great body of a car. Ettores solution: he bought a Packard Torpedo and mounted the body parts on the Bugatti chassis. Ettore was driven the car criss-cross the european countries one year long. It was a realy enduring test and a good occassion onto the publicity.

I had a problem with build bodies and the series production of the models too. At least I was lucky to find a company to vacuumform the body parts and an other one for making photoetching of small metal parts windscreen frames, steering wheel, bars for controlling the carburator, dashboard, the side panels of engine compartment, the parts of elephant figure, etc. I airbrushed the models with an automotiv lacquer Neolux, 80% black and 20% transparent blue. It made a deep and cold night black what I liked so much.
