1/48 Bugatti 100 Racer
Special Hobby's 1/48th scale Bugatti 100 Racer is a unique French racing aircraft from the late 1930s, designed to break world speed records. The kit features detailed plastic parts, a realistic cockpit and finely rendered aerodynamic elements. The package does not include the paint or glue needed for assembly.
The Bugatti 100P was a unique racing aircraft designed by Ettore Bugatti and engineer Louis de Monge in 1937. Its aim was to break the speed records of the time and represent the technical capabilities of France on the international stage. The aircraft had a radical design - slender aerodynamic shapes, two engines mounted behind the cockpit, counter-rotating propellers and the typical arrow tail surfaces.
However, the machine never flew - the outbreak of World War II and the subsequent occupation of France halted the project. The prototype was hidden from the Germans and remained almost forgotten for decades until it was restored and rebuilt in replicas by enthusiasts in modern times. Yet the Bugatti 100P has become a symbol of technical elegance and innovation.
The Special Hobby 1/48 Bugatti 100 Racer brings a unique opportunity to build this aerodynamic icon of aviation on a larger scale. The kit offers a precisely crafted fuselage, wings and cockpit that faithfully captures the construction of this engineering curiosity. Its elegant appearance makes it an ideal model for display.
The model will be especially appreciated by collectors and modelers interested in unusual and experimental aircraft of the pre-war era.
The package does not include paint or glue needed for assembly.
