1/48 Gee Bee Racer

This is a 1/48 Gee Bee Racer Plastic Model Kit from Testors. This model is recommended for experienced modelers ages 10 and over.

The first airplane many aviation buffs recall when asked about famous air racers is the stubby little Gee Bee. In spite of its awkward appearance, the Gee Bee exhibited good aerodynamics and remains one of the truly classic shapes in all aviation.

"Chubby" but efficiently aerodynamic fuselage.
Huge radial engine with 800 hp; engine drove a Smith controllable- pitch propeller.
Short coupling of the control surfaces, which made it hard to fly.
Includes a pilot with a flying cap.
Option to rig the flying wires in three different ways.
Jimmy Doolittle set the landspeed record in a Gee Bee in 1932.
