Bugatti Royale Fosters Limousin 1933 in scale 1:75

The third sold car went to Capitan C.W.Foster. He brought the car to England and ordered a body at coachbuilder Park Ward. The car got a body very similar to Rolls Royces of the time no surprise, Park Ward was the official coachbuilder of Rolls Royce. Interesting, the pattern of upholstery is the same as in the Napoleon Coupe but while in that it is mainly blue in Fosters Limousine mainly brown. Thanks my son I have photos from this car too.

To build the model was rather similar to other ones but the partition between driver and passanger compartment was some challenge. It needed a lot of dry assembly befor gluing. And to find a method that the driver seat fits close to partition was an other case. Namely the seat is fastened to the below part of body and the partition in the upper part. The upholstery with decals needed a lot of repeating and time till the paterns fit to another half way. The experiences were good at the making of Napoleon Coupe and Binder Coupe.

Superb in any scale, unbelievable in this scale. Would be a good part of a diorama for a flea circus.
