Thank you everyone in advance for the interest shown in this project. It won't go very quickly because it is a side project next to my motorcycles that I normally build.

Thnaks guys for youre comments. The engine is ready except for a few small things, the small things are bringing back some colors that have now been pushed away a bit and the rusty plate still has some aluminum chipping back. This plate was probably simply sprayed aluminum judging from some of the photos. There is still a single part loose.

Engine detail really pops with the light weathering you did. This looks wonderful so far!

Dang it Ron!! You're paying attention to even the minutest of details on this build buddy. Love the engine, riveting and plumbing work that you're pulling off. I hear you on replacement of the rigid hoses that come in these kits. Italeri means well but there are far better options like the ones you came up with. Beautiful work so far.

Great job Ron, I am really loving the details and the race weathered look you got going on here.

That’s looking incredible!! The added details plumbing the engine and upgrading what you get from Italeri really make the difference. Just beautiful.

Oh, my goodness! 🤩 That is some incredible scale modeling, Ron. I'm considering the old Monogram 1/24 Bugatti 35 for my first auto model since 1976, which was that same Monogram kit. I will be using this example as a guide and inspiration for my own, smaller version! Beautiful work, sir!

Shameless plug for another build. LOL

Guys thanks for the responses. What to do when you unexpectedly have a day off because a customer cancels an appointment. So I spent a few hours airbrushing parts for the BSA motorcycle and the body of the Bugatti. Regularly cleaning the airbrush because of the paint types, Vallejo prime, Tamiya primer,, Aclad, Tamiya LP, Tamiya Acrylic and Revell Acrylic. So a day well spent. I had made new brake cables that were from Italeri was a thick wire now the cable consists of 3 wires of 0.1mm. The Bugatti logo is a decal and as a top layer I used clear UV resin (and a UV lamp for fast drying) from Green world/stuff? advantage of this is that you can apply it convex so that it even enlarges the text a bit I also use this for my meter glasses because it is clearer than the plastic versions of the kit and easier to apply.
