There's actually a full scale replica flying (or was), I've seen it a couple of times --

Did anyone do a decent 1/72 GeeBee R-1 ever?

I know Merlin tried to, but it was a total joke! It came as a double kit with their Heston Racer at one time, and I still have the Heston un-built. Yet another one that NEEDS to be done!
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

Yes, ClassicPlane did one, and while I have not built it yet, it looks OK.
One plastic sprue with all the parts,
One resin propeller, if you do not want to build up the parts of the plastic one.
Two Vac-form canopies.
One very nice transfer sheet.
The only thing you do not get is an actual instruction sheet.

I think I could live without that, building an R-1 would be pretty intrinsic.

It'd go well with the Heston, the Me-209 and that weird Japanese thingie that looks like a -209.

Kit: A-Model do a couple of Gee Bees in 1/72nd. Can't comment on how 'decent' they are...

Ki-78 or some other design?

Yes, that's the one. Well worked out.  :thumbsup:

I bought a kit of it a little while ago, not too bad at all.

Oooh, thanks H, I'd never have thought of A Model as a candidate to make a GeeBee.

I've built the AZ double boxing of the Ki 78 (they are on here somewhere) and they go together very well
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

I just found this on Dora Wings website.

http://dorawings.com/products/1-72/13-dw72015-savoia-marchetti-s55.html
I'm very excited.
Savoia-Marchetti S-55 has so many whiff possibilities apart from the obvious Sky Pirates build.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Thats odd.  I did a search on Hannants and drew a blank.
Maybe because I searched for Savoia Marchetti and not Savoia-Marchetti.
Thanks Chris.

Hannant's search engine facility is one of the most perverse I've ever had the miss-fortune to use  :banghead: The other bad ones tend to be railway company's sites for some reason ? :-\
