Description

The ITALERI 1/24 Bugatti Coupe Napoleon (Kit No. 13705) is an intermediate-level static plastic model kit that builds into a highly detailed replica of Ettore Bugatti’s legendary personal luxury vehicle. Released as an updated rebox, this classic kit brings one of automotive history’s rarest icons straight to your workbench.
Kit Specifications & Key Features
    • Model Dimensions: Builds to an impressive length of 24.5 cm.
    • Skill Level: Level 3 (Intermediate), ideal for modelers with basic building experience.
    • New Rubber Tyres: Upgraded from previous vintage editions which only featured plastic wheels.
    • Highly Detailed Engine: Features all the necessary components to realistically replicate the massive inline 8-cylinder powerplant.
    • Velvet Interior: Recreates the highly sought-after, luxurious interior look of the real vehicle.
    • Chromed Elements: Includes chrome-plated sprues for pristine bumpers, rims, and signature trim details.

The model replicates the Bugatti Type 41 “Royale”, famously built on an artisan scale between 1929 and 1933. Only six vehicles were ever produced, with the Coupe Napoleon being the first in chassis order. Powered by a monumental 12,000+ cm³ displacement engine, the actual car was capable of reaching speeds up to 200 km/h despite weighing over three tonnes.
What You Need to Finish
Please note that this is an unassembled and unpainted plastic model kit. You will need to purchase the following basics separately to complete the build:
  • Plastic Model Cement/Glue
  • Modelling Tools (sprue cutters, hobby knife, tweezers, sand paper)
  • Paints & Brushes: The official scheme calls out an elegant two-tone black and blue bodywork to match the original museum vehicle.
