Responsibility details are not available.
An injection-molded plastic kit in 1:48 scale from the brand Dora Wings, supplemented by resin parts, photo-etched parts and masking templates. It is not a real historical aircraft: the P-45B Bee killer is a carefully thought-out what-if study, that is how a fighter might have looked if the army had taken over the design of the famous racing special built by the Granville brothers. The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted.
The basis is the Gee Bee racing aircraft from Granville Brothers Aircraft — a barrel-shaped machine with an enormous radial engine, a minimal fuselage and a cockpit pushed almost back to the tail, which won American air races in the 1930s and became as famous for its records as for being unmanageable. The fictional military version adds armament in the form of machine guns, whose barrels and breech covers are in the package as separate resin parts, together with US Army Air Corps markings. Anyone who wishes can take the model as a reminder of the golden years of air racing; anyone who wishes can take it as a purely modeling amusement.
Wash the mold release residue off the resin parts before gluing, cut off the casting blocks and glue them with cyanoacrylate glue; protect your airways when sanding resin. Dry-fit the short-run plastic parts. The surface is crucial: racing machines had smooth glossy finishes, so sand the joints carefully and use a primer. A striking color scheme with sharp transitions is best done by masking rather than with a brush. A small fuselage and a large engine mean that the whole model depends on matching the cowling to the fuselage carefully.
The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
