Italeri 4710 - 1/12 Bugatti Type 35B: Period Racing Model in 1/12

The Italeri 4710 1/12 Bugatti Type 35B kit reproduces a defining vintage racer with attention to the car's aerodynamic curves and cockpit layout. This assembly provides an engaging build for those who enjoy classic motorcar subjects, offering a balance of detail and approachable scale work.

Fit and finish considerations

Model components are sculpted to represent the Type 35B's body and mechanical features. Careful test-fitting and cleaning of parts will improve joins and surface finish, helping to highlight the model's fine details like rims and dashboard instruments.

Historic racing appeal

The Type 35B was a standout on early race circuits thanks to its engineering. This kit captures the styling and mechanical cues that made the car notable, creating a compact study of early racing design and a satisfying display subject for collectors.

Showcasing the finished model

At 1/12 scale the finished Italeri 4710 makes a strong display model. The size allows clear presentation of interior and wheel detail, and it responds well to painting techniques that emphasise metalwork and leather textures.

Yes, fine tweezers, a precision knife, small files and a pin vise are useful. They help control small components and improve overall assembly quality.
This kit is intended as a static scale model. Converting it to run would need extensive modification and is not recommended without advanced modelling and engineering skills.
The kit includes decals for authentic markings. Apply them after the base coat and a suitable clear varnish to protect and blend edges.
Use period-appropriate colours and thin layers to preserve detail. Consider masking for two-tone areas and use washes or gentle weathering to bring out panel lines and textures.
