A striking vintage scale model of the legendary Gee Bee R-1 racing aircraft, finished in its iconic red and white livery with "Powered by Wasp" engine markings and race number 11.

Constructed with impressive attention to detail, the model features a detailed radial engine, painted metal finish, simulated panel lines and rivets, wire landing gear bracing, free-spinning propeller and authentic period graphics. It makes an excellent display piece for an office, study, aviation room or collection.

Presented in good vintage condition with light age-related wear consistent with display and age.
