Planet Models have released a 1/48 scale of Bugatti's stunning racer that sadly never had a chance to prove itself.

Hi Rowan!

Guess who is interested! It's a "must have" for me!

Steffen, where are you?

Jean-Luc

I am here ...

now you do not have to finish your kit .. or did you sell your stuff to Planet??

cheers

Steffen

No I didn't...

I'll build mine nevertheless. I'll do a "what if?" militarized Bugatti in French Armée de l'Air markings with gun pods under the wings. I know you will love it!

Jean-Luc

Hi Jean-Luc

I meant designing it.

militarized ... hmm, ... I have a Payen Pa 22 (somewhere) should do that in German markings as a counterpart.



could be something from your comix

cheers

Steffen

How true! Take a look at the "Postman" thread...

Jean-Luc

Hi Steffen

I have too (equally "somewhere"!) - a Czech Model or Czech Kit? (I can't remember) - cast in dark blue translucent resin. Is that the same beast?

All the best

Rowan

Hi Rowan

I have the Master-X kit

Pa22/2

but again ... somewhere (no idea, probably faar away)

cheers

Steffen

Hi Steffen

Ahh - that's a very different kit. I bought mine about 15 years ago and it has the fuselage, wings and canards cast all as one piece. It's probably this kit. It's stashed away somewhere - I've no idea where, but it'll turn up one day when I'm looking for something else!

All the best

Rowan

Hmm, CMR is normally 72 (they have some 144 too), ..?

Hi Steffen

That's what I thought, but it's all that turned up in a web-search. Whatever company it was, they also produced a Klemm light aircraft and an Arado 96B - all cast in translucent resin. I'll let you know if I find them in the stash. When I saw the artwork for your Master-X kit, I thought for a moment that was the one I've got, because the style is so similar - I'm sure it's by the same artist.

All the best

Rowan

Sorry for digging up an old thread, but I was thinking of building one of these in the future (seems like a nice partner to the Napier-Heston).

I found an interesting article on a planned flying replica, which may be useful as a reference (the interior can be seen in the video at the end of the article)

Hi Ben

Really interesting! Thanks for that link.

I think Jean-Luc might be building the kit at the moment, so he'll probably pounce on this to get some of the details right.

All the best

Rowan

Hi all,




Yes Rowan, I've started the kit. So far I have only cleaned the parts. I'll do a little bit more during the week-end. The build will be mosty from the box with some very minor corrections...
