[B][B]Revival T35

This is a pre-painted multi-media kit. Available straight from the manufacturer here.....

I personally built a T35 from Revival and its a nice kit and well detailed Im sure you'ill enjoy it.

And yes I once owned a handmade aluminum replica in 1/1 . I wise I never sold it.

That Revival kit looks like the best one. There's also a nice Monogram kit; one is on eBay now.

There are a couple of kits, the 1:24 monogram which can be bought for little money. Do invest in some metallisers though, as the chrome is horrible.

The Revival one (there are three versions, I have the Grand Prix and the Targa Florio for sale if you like one (100 euro each) and there is the yellow "Tecla". ( I ran out of these)
Very nice kits, mostly metal parts, or rubber. A bit of steel wool and some basic paints are what you need, as well as some small drills to drill some required holes.

And there is the "Challenger" which is a 1:8 full metal kit. made by Art Collection Auto. Given the situation at ACA they will probably never come back. They originally cost 1600 euro, but are worth more now. I was lucky enough to be able to buy one. Am still planning to make it.

Thank you guys!!
Man that replica looks fantastic! I'm not going to say anything about selling such a gorgeous car At least you can be happy in the fact that you owned such a nice car...........

I would like to know a little about it though. Who made it? Power plant etc, can you tell me a little about it please??

Herman, thank you but as it stands I would have to go with the monogram example, the budget just wont stretch that far right now!! But a 1/8th one?? OOOOOOH yeah!

The Bugatti replica:

The best replicas are made by European companies like Ivon Dutton. They are not distinguisable from originals.

Next are the Pur Sang replicas, from Argentina. Some things are different, like the throw arangement, and the lubrication and bearings of the crankshaft.

Third are the Teal replicas, which are powered by alternative powerplants, but externally still have the same dimensions.

And then there are the abundance of replicas based on mostly VW Beetle chassis. Some nicer than others. There range from very nice, to utterly horrible.

The Bugatti I owned was at least mostly hand made. If anything it may have had a Teal body. I wish I had know that when I sold it I would have gotten a great deal more for it.

Heres some more shots.
