Bugatti 100p Project

Lawson Modelmakers are proud to be associated with a unique project to bring to life one of the most inspirational and evocative aircraft that NEVER flew - the Bugatti 100p
The Bugatti was a remarkable aeroplane and a truly innovative design. Designed from the outset to be fast, it would have most likely been the fastest thing in the skies with a projected top speed of 550MPH.

Lawson’s originally offered to build some small “gift” models for the US based team to distribute to supporters and sponsors, but it wasn’t long before they were asked to become more involved.

Company managing director; John Lawson was asked if he thought he could reverse engineer what is possibly the most complex component in the aircraft – the nose mounted gearbox. This component takes the drive from the twin engines and distributes the drive to the twin contra-rotating propellers. The Lawson design is now with one of the team’s other sponsors for final evaluation and validation, after which Lawson’s will oversee the production of this key component.
