The Granville R-1 Gee Bee was a single-engine sports and racing aircraft, with a metal low wing structure, manufactured in the USA from the interwar period. The drive was provided by a single Pratt and Whitney Wasp Senior engine with 535 HP. The plane made its first flight in 1932. Serial production was carried out in the years 1932-1933.

The R-1 Gee Bee was designed and manufactured at Granville Brothers Aircraft. The machine was characterized by a very bulky fuselage, short and small wings, a rudimentary tail tail and a pilot's cabin located far back of the fuselage. She was also incredibly difficult to pilot and was involved in many air accidents. At the same time, however, it had a very good top speed and when piloted by James Doolith in 1932, it set a speed record for this class of aircraft. Mainly for this reason, it became the benchmark for several American sports aircraft designs from this period.

The models are digitally printed - some adhesives can dissolve the ink! 

Paint in digital printing can be dissolved by certain types of adhesives like butaprene and similar on the same solvents. Before bonding, it is advisable to try the adhesive used on a barely visible part of the model.
