Bugatti T.50

This is the Heller release of the Bugatti T.50. When I opened the kit, I found that the body was missing. I wrote Heller and they shipped me a new body, but it arrived broken in five pieces. After a bit of bodywork, I got started on the rest of the build. That's when I noticed that the chrome tree was missing. Once again, I wrote and waited. It arrived unbroken, but the chrome was not very well done. I ended up stripping the chrome and used Alclad. The fit on alot of the parts was not exact, so it took a bit of finessing to get it together. The body is sitting all the way down on the chassis, but it still sits a bit high. The car is finally complete, but I'm not sure if I want to try another Heller car model or not. Here's the pics:\









Here's both sides of the engine





With windows all around, it was tough getting a pic of the interior, but here's what I ended up with
