Revell Bugatti EB110

Revell Bugatti EB110 1/24 completed June 1st, 2019.

Pros:

There are a lot of details, and a really nice engine. The seats have the most realistic depiction of leather in plastic I've come across in 10 years of building kits. Interior is detailed and [only the interior] is easy to assemble.

Cons:

Terrible mouldings, lots of ejector pin marks, slightly misaligned tools, warped body parts. Instructions are mostly a vague guide, terrible fitment of many parts. Slightly cheap, waxy feel to the plastic. Mostly a complete and total pain to assemble, especially if you follow the instructions. Body does not sit correctly onto the chassis without a huge amount of effort. Many things need to be fiddled with to get this kit to work as intended by it's designer. Horrible chrome wheels. A-pillars are the thinnest most useless things ever and hard to glue into the windscreen. Poor decals, lots of carrier film. A whole catalogue of work.

Verdict:

Not for beginners. Not even for intermediates. This is a pig of a kit but underneath the pain and in there somewhere, with enough effort, is something not half bad. There's something satisfying about wrestling this beast into a result. It is still far from perfect however.

Build notes:

Changed wheels/tyres to the ones that come with the Tamiya Corolla WRC. Changed wheel hubs to accomodate Tamiya wheel mounts. Discarded heat-shielding over engine pipes and scratch built some alternative. Added extra details into the engine bay and the front battery bay. Added seatbelt retainers to the interior.


Kit bought at IPMS, November 2017
