Here's a review by Jean-Luc Formery of the Planet Models 1/48 scale Bugatti 100P kit. Quite an interesting subject for those who like vintage racers of the late 1930'.
Nice review! Thanks for the really helpful list of references. Of course, the more you learn, the more you realise how much there is to discover! There I was, naively buying a pot of Humbrol "French Blue" for my kit, but one of your links states the dark blue usually depicted is suspected just to have been a primer coat, ready for a "Bugatti Blue" top-coat - and that colour seems to have evolved over the years: http://www.type35.co.uk/forum.htm.
All the best
