Classic Bugatti Royale 1/24 Scale Model Kit - Italeri 13705  [IT-13705]

Italeri 13705 - 1/24 scale Bugatti Type 41 Royale Coupe Napoleon kit

This injection-moulded 1/24 plastic kit depicts the Bugatti Type 41 Royal Coupe Napoleon and is intended for modellers who prioritise accurate coachwork proportions and display-quality finishing.

The Bugatti Type 41 Royale was conceived in the late 1920s by Ettore Bugatti as an ultra-luxury automobile, featuring a very long chassis, coachbuilt bodies and a substantial straight-eight engine. Built in extremely small numbers, these cars represent bespoke interwar luxury and specialised coachbuilding techniques.

The model focuses on exterior silhouette and coachbuilder lines typical of the Royale. Parts come on standard plastic sprues and will require trimming, sanding and painting. Precise panel alignment and attention to any plated trim help create a convincing 1/24 scale presentation. Using period references and correct colour choices will enhance interior and exterior authenticity.

Assembly pointers for best display results: test-fit major sections before gluing, use filler sparingly to tidy seams, and plan paint stages to avoid damaging delicate chrome-style accents. A simple display riser will emphasise the elongated chassis and bespoke coachwork at shows or in a personal collection.

A rewarding subject for model makers who enjoy period correct coachwork and refined finishing for display use.
