PICS - A 1938 Bugatti Atlantic just out.

[stewil]

I don't recall seeing pictures of this new offering yet so thought I would post some shots. This is Mikhail Bashmashnikov's first 1/24th offering. Will include some 1/43ed scale models for comparison. I am very Happy that this car has been finally offered in a larger scale than 1/43ed. What a fine model. Hoping you enjoy the pictures and that you will forgive my redundancy if you have seen this on another forum.









Outstanding interior detailing






There will be only 100 produced so act fast if interested before the Bugatti Club snaps them all up.




Heco 1931 Bugatti T51 Dubos


Heco 1935 Bugatti T57C Aerolithe. One can observe the Atlantic's evolution based on the preceding two cars.


Other French Curve cars of the era


IXO offering of an Atlantic


The Brumm Atlantic has been out awhile


A Spark 1937 Delage D6 that has a similar look to the Atlantic. Hmmmm, just noticed misspellings, oops.


I know of a couple other Atlantic offerings in 1/43ed which I was never able to obtain.
So how do the 1/43ed scale models compare?

That looks like a great model but I'm waiting for Aa and CMC versions in 1/18 scale with opening features. I really like your collection though, many wonderful models there. I'd be happy just to have them all in 1/43 scale.

Never noticed how cool the exhaust is on this car before. Seems like there is going to be a model of this for every taste and budget.

Thanks for the post, Steve

Some stunning models as usual. The Aerolithe is gorgeous, I'm hoping Spark's Portout is as good as your Heco and as for the Stylish Duesenberg, well I'm hoping Ixo will make one (a nice saving of $700 or so!)
