Bugatti Type 50 Superprofilee

Heco Miniatures

Model cars from the 1930s in Limited Edition

"Heco Modeles" was created in 1979 by Herve Colombet. The company was first hosted in a room in the centre town of Saint Etienne. 21 years old, Herve was impassionned by miniature car models and he had only one dream, to manufacture his own models.

The success of his first creation, the "Bugatti 73A", sold at 300 numbered copies, encouraged him to continue in this direction.

During the first years when he manufactured mainly of the "Bugatti" and "Rolls Royce", he learned how to control all the various techniques necessary to the realization of automotive scale models ( prototype, modelling, moulding resin and white metal, painting with the aerographer, turning, photopartage, decals etc...)

In 1985, his efforts were rewarded as he received the prize for the "Miniature of the Year" for the realization of "Bugatti 57C Rodney Clark".

Shown in march 1930 and developed from the "Type 46" of which lots of elements are the same, the "Type 50" is notable by its engine with 2 camshafts in head, the first built in "Molsheim". "Jean Bugatti" has persuaded his father to make some innovations on the engine. He also show all his great talent by drawing several evolutions for the coach which is an example of the evolution of the traditional body towards the aerodynamic shapes.

All models produced by HecoMiniatures are made by hand. Since its foundation, HecoMiniatures has been on the forefront of creating the finest 1/43rd scale model cars.
Each HecoMiniature model starts off with a prototype, made entirely by hand, by artisan Bruno. Oliver has joined his team in 2005. Bodies and chassis are hand cast in resins, with accessories cast in white metal. Every part is hand finished and expertly painted by skilled craftsmen. The metal components are polished and then nickel plated.
Assembly requires the greatest skills, with attention to all details by the team at HecoMiniatures.

All models are produced in strictly limited editions of 25 to 300 pieces, depending on the individual model. Since 2006, each model is mounted on a plinth of "Troncet" oak, along with a surface representing a stone road, expertly finished and painted by one of our craftsman. Each model is presented in a custom acrylic display case and delivered in a wooden box.
The traditions at HecoMiniatures have been, and always will be, to produce models of the highest creativity and quality!
