This 40 size Golden Age Racer stand off scale model has undergone very
minor changes to clean up the tooling and now includes a peel and stick Mylar decal.
Kit is recommended for experienced builders.
The kit instructions include the color scheme for the model X and C.
Decals with the kit are for the D. The kit has a modest hardware bag and modelers are reminded they need
engine mount and wheels, along with the usual glue and covering. For the average
flyer the Gee Bee D will be a pleasure to fly and a .40 engine is all that is
needed to provide scale like speed.
Details: Wingspan is 56"; Fuselage 32"; and
Weight may vary from 4.5 to 6 pounds depending on the
builder and their equipment.
