JamesP Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Do you think some manufacturers are fed up of the "nice, but wrong scale" comments 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiseca Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 Soo..... just received the 1/72 version and first impression is I should have waited for the 1/48 version! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiseca Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 They could do it in 1/12 scale and not break any size records! I reckon the 1/48 version isn't going to be much bigger than, say, a 1/72 Typhoon, Tempest or Jug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I combined some maths and googling and came to the conclusion that a 1/48 Bugatti 100P will be smaller than a 1/72 Hawker Typhoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiseca Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 (edited) Looks like this is available now on the Special Hobby website. I can't tell if it's pre-order or not (it says it's in stock) and I can't find it on Amazon or Ebay yet. I haven't tried other online model shops, but the 1/72 version became available on Special Hobby's site before anywhere else too. EDIT: Scratch that. It didn't come up when I used ebay search for it, but when I searched for it on Google, an ebay link came up! Looks like it's hit the shelves.

Take care: it's the old 1/48th Planet Models resin kit, not the future Special Hobby 1/48th injected plastic kit. https://www.specialhobby.eu/en/our-own-production/planet-models/bugatti-100-racer.html V.P. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SprueMan Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Cool! If they also post a canopy (in two months ) then that will be the whole model. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SprueMan Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 ..and I got mine! It looks like on the photos. It looks better than the Planet Model resin kit, in that there are more details on the fuselage and in the cockpit. The canopy is clear, the parts look good, with a bit of flash, but not more than can be cleaned up. The ailerons and rudder/elevator is a bit simple really, and the tailwheel will have to be removed and rebuilt. Oh, and the tail's ejector pins will ahve to be sanded down, or they wont fit together. Its a simple enough plane and kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
