Just finished one of the more unlikely subjects, the Bugatti 59, an old Matchbox kit in 1/32 scale. I wanted to have an old warrior, so I removed all the chrome with brake fluid (except for the radiator and the tank filling caps) and used aluminium paint to get a weathered effect. I did some work in the engine department (the blower and the inlet system are absent in the kit) but an effort to add the ignition lines failed as the colledtor tube was really unworkably small. The wheels are a let down, but for 5$US you can not expect much. The rest of the kit is how it came. Pictures of Bugatti 59's show it to be a single seater with the co-driver's seat covered but also that was not included in the kit, just a two seat bench.
