CMC Bugatti T35.......at last !!!
You can tell by the smile on my dial, she's arrived !!!
Henk & Wouter you got to see this to believe!!
I've never seen such detail in 1:18
The bonnet straps are real leather with minute horse harness buckles.
The hand brake pulls up on miniscule cables onto drums in the back wheels !
The body cabling is all real cable threaded through the tiniest of eyelits.
The dash and instrumentation leave me speechless !
The steering wheel is wood laced onto aluminium spokes.
The engine and plumbing is all in the proto materials !!
I could just go on and on and .....look at the authentic camber on the front wheels !! 926 hand assembled parts.... each wheel is made of 35 parts !!

Busy with the 1924 diorama as we speak that will house her.
Keep you updated on progress.
Really have to pull out all the stops for a dio that can compliment this baby !!
Very pleased to have been instrumental in the production of this model .

PS Couple of pics of the T35 with the rest of the Bugatti collection as well.

God, could it be? Amazing! Think I'm gonna believe you that the model is near excellent...
Nice collection! I'm all with you on your way to expanding it. Morally.

That's really nice indeed.

My only small complain is, why are the front wheels like this \-/ ?

Then that's a good model there.

Tks for getting me drooling all over my keyboard, Henk lol
Yip, 1/8 builds are another ballgame completely.
Patience,dedication and workmanship all in one.
Last one I did was in 1975 ! Ford Model T Hot Rod. Took almost a year !
Lot of our members were not even born then ! lol

well, in this case you might want to know that the guy who did this kit, actually used the UCP thread on the "naked" 35....
