Yes it does. I have very little trust in the cyanocrylic and welding glue except for tacking. I really lay on the two part epoxy where it is not visible. The extra weight doesn't hurt either.

I thought it would be too, but the thing that breaks first on these is usually the windshield and this one is a coupe so it has lots of protection.

Once again you have turned out another piece of art that truly be longs in a museum the Bugatti Atalante is a beautiful and graceful automobile that is just legendary and you have done more than justice to this model despite the inaccuracy's in the pyro model kit.

Definitely worth the battle. And I'm sure you've learned things along the way. Yup.... That belongs on an ad for an aged single malt. A shot of a glass on the side with a couple of rocks melting in it half out of frame.

Or perhaps Cartier watches.

Looking forward to the cocktail chaser when you're ready for it.

Would fit in with the current theme of Gordon's Gin ads.

Yess! You might try selling it to Gordons' ad agency.

A poster print of that would be good in the slot car room.

My only quibble is in the font. Never use all uppercase with a font like that. Gets too busy.
