Bee Gee Racer Fighter


A while back I saw a website with a GEE BEE Racer reconfigured as a fighter plane.


Of course the cape had to go, so I cut it off.


It looks a bit like the I-15, a short, stubby Russian plane from the early WWII era.


Here are a group of Airfix USAAF men working on the plane.


The Gee Bee was short range, but very fast and very maneuverable.  


I think it would work very well for a point defense fighter.


No armor as a racer, but perhaps a bit as a fighter.


You can see the size, the engine is massive.
