The Bugatti type 100 airplane was an attempt of [[Ettore Bugatti]] and [[Louis de Monge]] to produce an airplane with outstanding performance. Planned top speed was 850 km/h, at that time (1939) faster than anything flying. With the second world war being expected, the plane was offered to the French government. The plane had many novel features, like counter-rotating props, an Y-tail, and patented reverse-cooling.

The model is very accurate, and is not too difficult to assemble. The resin fuselage is a very crisp casting, and the photo etched parts are very high quality. Once built a great addition to any Bugatti or airplane collection.
