Bugatti Atlantic 3d-printed aftermarket accessory, 1/72nd scale

 


The spiffy Bugatti Atlantic car is here, as beautiful a design as the plane.

A modified 3D-printed aftermarket item to accompany the two Bugatti airplanes built from the Special Hobby (new) and Guano Works (old) kits.

To have a glimpse at the modification process please visit the corresponding article:

Besides priming/painting and detail painting, home-made headlights were made and glued, plus exhaust stacks, "chrome trim" wires at the sides of the hood, fuel caps and windows were added.

My thanks again to Stuart Clark who used this very product some time ago in his own build of the Bugatti plane, and kindly pointed out to its source and hinted some modeling tips.

    Nel blu, dipinto di blu! (Got an FS595 equivalent for that blue, my friend?) That's a beautiful pair of models! You never cease to amaze and educate me in the finer details of real modeling.

      Volare indeed, although the plane didn't do much of that! I got a MMOC number for it..."Mixing My Own Concoction", but more than a number it's a "little bit of something", since we into musical hits.
