After masking with Tamiya tape, I painted with Zeropaint RAL 5001:

Thanks, Gégé

Beautiful, looking forward to seeing more of this car!

Great progress and great subject!

I'll certainly be watching this one closely. We don't see enough Bugattis here. Keep us posted.

That paint job looks spectacular, both in the finish you've achieved and in the color scheme.

Fantastic so far.

Now that is what I call an beautyful model of a interesting car, can't wait to see it finish!!!!! The paint work looks superb.

Great looking car and beautiful job.
Congratulations!

Great paintwork, hope the rest of the kit is as good as the body appears to be; I'm building the 1/24th LMM GT40 on this forum and the kit is very poor quality, so best of luck with your build.

oooo i like the baby blue paint...

Nice work! One of my favorite cars from my favorite era. Keep the photos coming.

Thanks.

Defintely I must purchase this kit, I was already motivated by the Spark die cast but this one.... hard to rexist :D Great!

Very nice. I did the Profil 24 1938 Type 57G. It looks great but the wheels were a nightmare to build, although they look better than the LMM wheels when done. I have this kit also and its very well done. I think the big problem with the other LMM kit, the GT40 is resin warping. The body parts are thin.

This LMM kit is very thick.
