Hi everyone,
It's long time without posting something, so this summer I started a so called "easy subject", the Bugatti T32 "Tank" used on the Grand Prix de Tours in 1923. It was the first car with wheels enclosed in the body of the car and one of the first attempt to create an aerodynamic shape. At the same race participated another of strangest car of all time, the Voisin Laboratoire. In the end the car was a failure, its flat bottom create an up-force causing bad handling, and the enclosed wheels didn't allow the brake to cool down. Of the four T32, number 6 arrived third, whereas the number 11 crashed against a tree...
I used the Patrik Pasques model, freely available, but with a lot of scratchbuilt pieces, especially the flat bottom, using the blueprint of Roger Taylor. All has been reduced to 1/43, obviously...
