Maisto/BBurago - Bugatti Chiron - Custom Build

More info is posted on my personal collection page about the build, but figured I'd share it here in the completed thread with fellow customizers as well.

I think its the 3rd time I comment on your Chiron but it looks amazing in that color!
As for the Chiron and Ford GT in Costco David, out of 3 Costco here in QC no one had those 2 models

day I got the few that I purchased was the start of last week....I think the pallets had just been put out. Today, I hit 3 more Costcos (there are 9 Stores in the Houston area)....and all were cleared out of Chirons except the last store. It had two, so I picked those up...one for possible request for a custom build project...the other for ebay. Found a ton of the blue Ford GTs today....but only a couple Silver w/grey stripes like the one in my collection. Not seen a single yellow version.

Chiron looks great! What did you use to paint the chrome?

One rec I would have is to paint the rear wing struts silver to better replicate the assembly on the real car.

Great job as always! Love the new colour. Looks much classier.

Btw did you make the engine cover openable? I heard they were sealed...

Yes....there are a couple of metal tabs that have to be filed away. I gently pryed the arms on the hinges apart...the engine cover then pops out easily....from there, I just filed down the spot on each side of the engine decklid that prevents it from swinging open.
