Re: Finally Completed - 1:16 Bugatti Royale

Many thanks for the compliments chaps

Mike - it is indeed huge, even compared to my other 1:16s, and it's nice to finally have some free space on my work desk for some other models

kenyap83 - it is the Bandai / Entex / Fuman kit as Mike says. Unlike the other versions, the Bandai release has the main engine, gearbox & back axle components chromed but to be honest, that finish is way over the top as it would really be polished / machined alloy. Mine was a Fuman release, & I just painted those parts silver / aluminium, which worked very well with the machine-turned texture that is moulded into the engine block.

I like your Rolls Phantom - I have one of these in my to build pile (one day....) & would be very interested to see some engine / interior / chassis pics if you have any
