Bugatti 1932 Type 55 Roadster

Finished another model car.  It is surprising how many hours it takes to paint and assemble these little guys.  I'm getting better at it.  Giving this one an A-/B+.  

One additional issue, in addition to my still-developing skill with them, is that some model kits are better than others.  For example, the Entex models like this one, often have poor instructions.  They frequently give only a general idea where the pieces are to attach together, so even if one is careful it is necessary at times to tear some pieces off and start again.  

Here it is before painting and assembly:


I used a paint that is half green and half copper.  Which one shows depends upon the angle one views it and the light.  It is totally not a reproduction of original colors used on the car, but I don't care about that.  If this paint was available in 1932 Bugatti would have used it.
