Product Description
- The Bugatti 100P is a racing plane planned in France in 1938 by the automobile manufacturer Bugatti.
- Bugatti founder Ettore Bugatti started designing the 100P with Louis de Monge as chief designer to win the 1940 air race [Deutsch de la Meurthe Cup].
- However, the aircraft was not completed in time for the September 1939 deadline for applications to participate in the race, so it did not participate.
- When World War II broke out, the 100P was hidden in a rural barn, and the rediscovered 100P is now on display at the EAA AirVenture Museum in the United States.
- Although this aircraft was not able to actually fly, a 100P replica aircraft production project was started in 2009 and the first flight was carried out in 2015.
- The fuselage is an all-wood monoplane made from balsa and hardwood plywood, with forward-swept wings and a V-tail with air intakes on the leading edge.
- The landing gear is a retractable landing gear, and Bugatti's proprietary engine [Type 50C] (450 hp) is equipped with two units in the fuselage behind the cockpit, driving the double-rotating propeller at the nose.
- The planned maximum speed was about 805km/h.
- The kit includes photo-etched parts and resin parts. When completed, the total length will be about 161mm and the total width will be about 171mm.
- Completely new mold
