Bugatti T57G 1st Le Mans 1937 1:24
To get the best from this set of very well cast parts you will need to have your best detail painting and weathering techniques handy and the multi-page instructions give plenty of ideas for adding life to the finished article. It’s a kerbside kit but underneath there’s a fair amount of mechanical detail and the exposed cockpit, with the very realistically moulded seat and optional driver figure offer plenty of scope too. The castings are very crisp with just some small areas of casting flash to remove, the side of the driver being the only tricky looking bit. The wheels are a mix of machined and etched metal and there’s also etch for the radiator grille, headlight protection and a few other finishing touches. Very well thought out and nicely made, right down to a shallow cast-in masking line for the two tone satin blue main body colours.

About Le Mans Miniatures
Very well cast and generally accurate resin kits and accessories. 1:24 kits usually kerbside, although a few subjects do have opening parts and engine detail. 1:43 kits have engine detail and much of this is cast in, requiring some careful clean-up and painting. Kits can be ordered with or without main bodywork painted. Instructions are excellent displaying a sense of humour! Accessoris include decals for many of the kits and various wheel sets. Also figurines in a variety of scales, some unpainted and others superbly finished to capture famous individuals. Made in France
