Platz 1/12 Bugatti Type 35B 1928 Targa Florio/1930 Monaco GP (Japanese translation included) Plastic Model

Recreating a Historic Racing Icon in Big Scale

The Bugatti Type 35B, a masterpiece born before the war, has been intricately recreated as a 1/12 scale plastic model kit.

About the Actual Car

In the history of racing and sports cars, the Bugatti Type 35B is an indispensable masterpiece. Designed by Ettore Bugatti, this machine is not just praised for its performance but is also admired as an artistic creation, down to its engine design. First debuted in 1924, the Bugatti Type 35 spawned several variants. These included the road-going 35A, the Grand Prix version 35, the supercharged 35C, and the long-stroke 2.3-liter 35T. The final iteration was the Type 35B, equipped with a 2261cc inline-eight SOHC engine and a Roots-type supercharger, achieving numerous race victories by 1930.

At the Targa Florio held in Sicily, Italy, in 1928, female driver Elisabeth Junek made history by temporarily leading the race, cementing the car's legendary status.

About the Product

This plastic model assembly kit offers a big model of the historic Bugatti Type 35B at 1/12 scale. New parts have been included to model its racing specifications accurately. With a completion length of 306mm, the kit details everything from the engine to the frame and suspension, replicating this classic car with precision. The horseshoe-shaped radiator and the sleek body design are accurately modeled, including the engine under the hood.

The engine, a supercharged inline-eight, not only achieves a mechanical finish but also captures the beauty of Ettore Bugatti's design. The frame and front/rear suspension of the actual car are modeled to remain movable post-assembly. The kit includes not just plastic but also metal parts such as screws and nuts, ensuring a reliable finish.

Two marking options are included: car number 58, driven by Elisabeth Junek in the 1928 Targa Florio, and a machine used in the 1930 Monaco GP. A Japanese translated supplement instruction is included for easy assembly.
