Some models are simply special. This is one of those models. This is the new Red Lion Racer from BH Models. This Golden Age Scale Aircraft is truly a work of art in ARF format. CHECK IT OUT…
1. Fiberglass Cowling with Radial engine Detail. Factory cut out and painted. Has enough airflow too so no major mods are needed.
2. Cockpit is finished. There’s a dash, a pilot, and the windshield is installed.
3. Scale wheel covers. The wheels stick out enough to be practical too.
4. Scale markings throughout. I love the tail shots. The plane simply looks awesome.
5. Installed Wing Fairings. The flairs on the side of the fuselage that blend the fuselage to the top of the wing are Built-in and properly covered. They are NOT Plastic add-ons.
6. Covering is Oracover. Scale markings are decals.
7. It may have a short nose but it properly balances with a 46 two stroke! Yep, it works with a 2 stroke.
8. We installed a 4120/05 on extensions with no problem. So going brushless is going to work out just fine.
SPECS:
Wingspan: 1470mm – 57.87in
Length: 1180mm – 46.46in

Did you look through the Photo Album? There’s quite a few shots there, you can really get a look at the detailing of this airplane. It is stunning.

F.Y.I.
The actual Gilmore Red Lion # 121 is in the Wedell-Williams Memorial Museum in Patterson, LA along with a few other classic planes from the 30’s. It’s a very cool museum.

Do you have the manufacturer’s specs/paint code for the “Silver Creme” paint? We are restoring a 50’s canned ham camper trailer and when we saw the actual color scheme on the plane, we knew that’s the paint combo we want on our trailer.
Thanks,
Gary

The tan is actually Ultracote/Oracover Tan. We had to modify the color to match the covering! Also note that the big Gilmore Red Lion Model has arrived from BH!
