ADVANCED BUILD
Garry Tobiss completes Italeri's new-tool 1/12 Bugatti Type 35B... finding a use for shoelaces along the way.
The Bugatti 35 is one of the most recognisable sports cars ever built. Designed by Bugatti, handcrafted at its French factory and released in 1924, it was a sound commercial success. In fact, the Haynes manual (see Reference) states they were sold as fast as they could be built. The Type 35 was also a competitive design and driven in many Grands Prix, including a series of wins during the years 1925 to 1933. This build represents an example of the Type 35B, a supercharged 2.3 lit version of the vehicle. Car ‘12’ was driven to victory in 1929 as a private entry by William Grover-Williams in the first ever Monaco Grand Prix.
