CDW got a reaction from Ryland Craze in Bugatti Type 35B by CDW - FINISHED - Italeri - 1:12 Scale
The Revs institute car, SN 4959 (from 1930) is not this one. This one is SN 4914 and was built I believe in 1928. I'm not really certain of its whereabouts today. The article I read about it and the reference photos are from an article in Hemmings, 2016.
It's interesting to note that this car was originally painted in green when it won the first Monaco Grand Prix. It was sold by Bugatti to a private owner following that initial win. The new owner painted it red. Later on, it was painted again, this time in blue, then once more in a different shade of blue. The car remained unrestored as it is pictured above in 2016. To model the car, it will be necessary to possibly show, in various places, chipped paint that exposes the several colors and shades the car was painted. Should be fun and more satisfying (to me) than a brilliant new paint job.

Craig, I think you are perfectly right, as depicted in this beautiful painting of Graham Turner:

I'm in. Just what I need, to be tempted by another 1/12th scale old race car build. I prefer the fresh out of the factory look, but only because I am too chicken to attempt any serious weathering. Maybe some day. I am preparing to be amazed by what you come up with

Nice project Craig, can't wait for the paint job, faded and chipped.
Cheers Rob

Should be interesting having just acquired the Italeri kit myself.
Looks a good kit in the box as far as I can see.

With a few more pieces added, I am getting near finished with this model but there are a lot of small details and weathering I want to add before officially calling it finished. In the meanwhil. I have another project I want to start and will finish this one up in between sessions with the new project.
