Italeri 4713 - 1/12 Bugatti Type 35B Roadster: Large scale vintage racer kit

The Italeri 4713 Bugatti Type 35B Roadster brings a classic racing silhouette to 1/12 scale, giving modellers plenty of surface to detail and finish. It is aimed at hobbyists who enjoy sizeable, display-ready projects.

Significance on the race scene

The Type 35B stood out for its engineering, notably its supercharged engine and balanced chassis. The kit recreates those visual cues so builders can appreciate the car's performance heritage through model form.

Assembly complexity and finishing options

This kit offers an involved build with many small fittings and trim pieces. Builders can choose period-correct paints or experiment with custom livery; the parts allow modest modification and upgrading.

Showcase and storage advice

Once complete the 1/12 Roadster is substantial enough for dedicated shelving or a display case. Careful finishing improves the model's presence, making it a standout in a vintage motor collection.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/12
  • Material: Plastic kit parts

How detailed is the engine and cockpit area?

The kit includes basic engine and cockpit components with visible detail, suitable for modest enhancements if you want a more intricate display engine bay.

Do I need special tools to build this kit?

Standard modelling tools like side cutters, hobby knife, glue, sandpaper and paint brushes are sufficient. A pin vise and fine files help with tight fit areas.

What display base works best for this scale?

A simple plinth or diorama base at 1/12 scale highlights the Roadster. Use a low contrast base colour and subtle weathering for a museum look.
