1/32 Laird Super Solution

Description

This is an injection-plastic aircraft model kit.

From Williams Brothers Model Products:

Designed by Matty Laird in 1931, it was designed to minimize all frontal area to reduce drag and obtain the maximum possible speed. Rolled out of the factory just 5 days before the Bendix cross country race -from Burbank, California to Cleveland, Ohio- the plane had some initial stability issues, but they were corrected overnight. Jimmy Doolittle took the plane and flew from Lansing, Illinois to Burbank for the Bendix race! Immediately, he was off for the race to Cleveland, which he won with an average speed of 223mph, but he immediately refueled and went on to Newark, New Jersey to set a new coast to coast record! And then, he refueled, and flew back to Cleveland to enter the Thompson Trophy Race – a total of 2882 miles. Alas, the trip was too much for the engine, and after an early lead, he had to drop out in lap 7.

Kit will measure about 16.5cm long and 19.7cm wide when completed.
