Gee Bee Fighter


What if the Gee Bee racing plane was made as a fighter?


Looks a bit like the I-16 from Russia.


I managed to drop a whole tray of M26 Pershings.  Note the damaged fender, and gun.


A bit of clay to hold the barrel in place while I glue it together.  Happened during the Bee Gee painting.


Sky Grey XF-19 from Tamiya as the under side paint for the Gee Bee.


I figure 37mm cannon in the nose, and a couple .30 caliber mgs in each wing.

    I turned this plane into an Ork Fighter

    If you have to have an Ork Fighter, this would be a good candidate, I think.
    Thanks for reading John.

    I did this modification a while back ago, using the E flite UM (micro) Gee Bee. I thought of 1943 Alaska Army Air Corp and then asked a great friend if he can do it for me. The results is absolutely stunning.He makes these museum quality micro Rc planes.
    I took it to a local RC indoor event and people were floored by it and asked where i bought it, some even thought that was thee was even a real aircraft built like this. LOL
    She now sits on the shelf showing herself off to guests. I sometimes take her out for a spin around the field ringing out the cobwebs. she is a wonderful sight to watch as she flies fast and low.
    Here's the site where I posted the pictures

    Thank you very much. I wanted to do something totally different and this was the result. Pete did a excellent job. It was a one time project. I love changing micro RC models into what they shouldn't be.

    I like having unique things in my collection. Particularly things that could have, might have, may have been.
