1/48 Gee Bee Super Sportster R2, DORA Wings


Recommended Posts

Hi Fuad,

 

the Gee Bee is not part of the planes I like, but you have done a splendid job with this kit.

It is absolutely stunning and must be quite tricky to build and paint.

 

Congratulations.

That's great, it's a bit of a pilot killer. But recent reproductions were safer. 

 

Oddly enough I was in  furniture shop a while ago and they had a couple of large scale Gee Bee racers, well detailed but rather expensive on display. Essentially an art piece.

Picked one of these up at the model show in Telford a few years back when they launched this.

 

Great little kit and a fun build, except those wing support struts...they were an absolute pain!

 

Your build looks superb though! very nicely done :)

Nice one, Fuad! Jimmy Doolittle got the most out of the machine, as very few others could. You should have seen the 1:1 scale replica do an aerobatic routine at an airshow several years ago- incredible! Like a bumblebee, it should not be able to fly, much less do aerobatics! The men who flew the original Gee Bee's were some steely-eyed aviators!
