The Hughes H-1 World Record Breaker-as seen in the hit movie "Aviator"The Hughes H-1 Racer-1935:So important is the H-1 in the history of flight technology, that it is now enshrined at the Smithsonian's Air and Space Museum in Washington Dc....where the plaque reads: 'The Hughes H-1 racer was a major milestone on the road to such radial engine powered WWII fighters as the American Grumman F6F Hellcat and Republic P-47 Thunderbolt, the Japanese Mitsubishi Zero and the German Focke Wulf FW-190. This unique model is basically quite easy to build and comes with a few 'optional' more fiddly parts. It's available in the supersize format as well as the usual one page 8 X11 format. There are several other 1930's racing planes in the WSAM collection.
Showing the four sheets of the 'Super Size' kit. The model is in 1:32 Scale with a maximum wing span of 11 inches. The Metalic parts are isolated so you can print just those on silver paper.
