ModelSvit Balkans Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Hello everyone, One major clarification: Our "A&A Models" kits represent 1933 versions of the aircraft, while Dora Wings ones - 1932 versions. FYI: Due to the fact that initial Bee Gee's flight performance was far from its creator's expectations, some design changes took place in 1933. What is different: - another engine and engine cowling, - different propeller; - modified wing and flaps; - another vertical stabilizer (encreased ) Feels free to compare sprues and shall notice related changes. Cheers, Modelsvit team 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milos Gazdic Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Does anyone know what the A&A 4808 - Gee Bee R1/Z Model 1934 "Intestinal Fortitude" represents? with Red 7 and NR2101 it looks like R2's later version from '34... What am I missing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malc2 Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 You are right, it is the R1/R2 hybrid from '34. It is the R1 fuz with 18 inches added and the 1932 R2 wings. The font on the box is confusing, the 2 looks like a Z. Malc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milos Gazdic Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Thanks so much for the clarification Malc! I like the markings quite a bit but I already have R1 ('32) & R2 ('33) and I belive it would be too much for me to add another one no matter how much I like GeeBee. But I am happy that the aircraft receives the attention from a brand(s) that are trying to do all the variations. I hope we will receive some more of the post-war racers from these brands. I would be super happy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Mathews Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 be nice if they could do a 1/48 model Z .... i almost finished the williams bros 1/32 GeeBee Z - before putting it on the shelf of shame . seeing it in the Rocketeer movie brings back fond memories .... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flying Pancake Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 I know it's tiny to begin with but I still wish we could have gotten these in 72nd scale. Only the ancient A Model kits exist in 72nd if I'm not mistaken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
