From Designer Shinichi Iwami of Aerobase: The Gee Bee Racer was popular worldwide, but all original aircraft crashed and not a single one remains. The aircraft we know today is the one restored by Delmar Benjamin. His stunt flying arguably led to a reevaluation of the aircraft's performance for the first time in 60 years. This model kit was designed with Delmar Benjamin's approval.
