Jet Powered GeeBee Racer

The rivet decals came out great! definitely keeps it in scale and can be more consistent than adding each raised rivet by hand.

As a big fan of the 1930's air racers I've built all the Williams Brothers 1/35 racers. A 'detail' as far as paint. The Gee-Bee R1 & R1 were white with fire engine red and a thin black pinstripe between. The Gee-Bee "Z" which you have done (paint job wise) should have a thin BROWN stripe between the Yellow and Black. BROWN?? Yeah, I know!. Jeezz. Also some interesting paint schemes: a Monocoupe 90a called "Cicada" , the Hall Bulldog, Travelaire Mystery "R" to name a few. REALLY NEAT MODEL AND WELL DONE CONSTRUCTION!

Rewatched "The Rocketeer" the other day, and I think I know where I subconsciously got my inspiration:
