Bugatti didn't only design cars. Among others, he also designed an aircraft: the Bugatti plane, model 100, specifically for airplane racing. The plane never flew, but a replica did, unfortunately killing the pilot when it crashed.
I only ever saw a mention of a (very expensive; think several $100s) 1:24 scale resin kit of this Bugatti plane once, but 1:48 and 1:72 scale kites are readily available, and for a lot less. Given I've already broken pretty much all of my self-imposed rules, the 1:24 scale rule might as well be suspended, allowing me to get a 1:48 kit of the Bugatti model 100.
And, to bring us back to Bugatti cars, here's the 1:48 Bugatti 100 model next to similar-scale models of a Type 35 and a modern Chiron.
