Here are some more images of Buraggo's 1/18 scale Bugatti type 59
roadster/racer.
From Wikipedia"
The final Bugatti race car of the 1930s
was the Type 59 of 1934. It used an enlarged 3.3 L (3257 cc/198
in³) version of the straight 8 type 57s engine sitting in a modified
Type 54 chassis. The engine was lowered for a better center of gravity
and the frame was lightened with a number of holes drilled in the
chassis. The signature piano wire wheels used splines between the brake
drum and rim, and relied on the radial spokes to handle cornering
loads. 250 hp (186 kW) was on tap, and 6 or 7 were made. Buraggo kits
are some of the easiest kits to build. The body comes pre painted and is
mostly assembled with screws. With the exception of the leather hood
belt (the one with the kit was too thick and was made of plastic) and some weathering, this
kit is pretty much straight out of the box.
