Identify maker of Bugatti P100 kit?
Posted by Liegghio on Sunday, January 24, 2016 7:04 PM

At the Brewer Brothers kit swap meet today I bought a 1/72 kit of the Bugatti P100 racing plane. It cost me $2 and was in a zip loc bag with no instructions, decals, or any paperwork. The kit is obviously a limited run styrene injection kit showing the big sprues indicative of a low pressure injection tool, no locator pins, vacuform canopy, etc. The vendor had no idea who made it, it's not one of the P100 kits made by SharkKit or Planet Models, and I can't find it anywhere on-line. It looks like it will build into a nice model once I clean up the surfaces and I would like to know the manufacturer when I post a photo of the completed kit to the gallery. I am hoping the FSM hive mind can help ID it.

I looked on Scalemates. The one that matches your description is made by Projekts Models #01 in the 1980's

Yes, thank you, that is the kit! Scalemates looks like a very useful site.

The stash tracking database looks cool but I'm kind of afraid to use it because I don't want to face up to the stark reality of how many kits I have that I will never get around to building!

I like it. The nice thing is you can keep track of all the aftermarket stuff that goes with the kits. Including decals which I have a ton of
