Why this kit matters
The Bugatti Type 35 is one of the most successful and iconic Grand Prix cars of the 1920s. Its lightweight design, supercharged straight-eight engine, and striking aesthetics made it dominant in races like the Targa Florio and Monaco GP. The 35B variant added performance improvements and became a staple among racing legends.
Italeri’s model captures this heritage with an expansive 1:12 scale, offering depth of detail many kits don’t. The inclusion of engine internals, realistic tyres, spare wheels, and fine finish parts means the builder gets a piece of racing history, not just a scale toy.
How to use it
Build using modelling tools: cutters, files/sandpaper, plastic cement or super glue, paint brushes or airbrush. Follow the colour & decal instructions, mask as needed, glue the parts, paint details, fit photo-etched and chrome parts carefully. Once assembled and painted, display on a shelf, in a display case, or within a diorama.
This is a plastic model kit. Assembly, paint, and glue are required. It is not a toy.
