Why this kit matters
The Bugatti 100 Racer is a legendary French racing aircraft designed in the late 1930s by Ettore Bugatti and Louis de Monge. Intended to break speed records and compete in the Coupe Deutsch de la Meurthe, the aircraft featured advanced aerodynamics, a sleek twin-boom design, and two inline engines mounted behind the cockpit. Its innovative engineering made it one of the most ambitious racing aircraft of its era.
Although the Bugatti 100 Racer never flew due to the outbreak of World War II, it remains an icon of pre-war aviation design. The aircraft was preserved and restored, and today it is celebrated for its unique blend of automotive and aeronautical engineering. Building this model offers a glimpse into a fascinating chapter of aviation history and pays tribute to Bugatti’s vision of speed and elegance.
