Model Airplane Factory offers you this elegant Hughes H1 Racer display aircraft model made by our gifted artists. Every part and detail of the H-1 Racer aircraft model is given equal attention to retain the actual specification of the H-1 Racer. After passing through several stages of sanding and priming, our talented artists paint and detail the H1 Racer wooden model plane display with historically correct markings of the Hughes H1. The process starts from carving the fuselage and the intakes on the fuselage sides to the H1 Racer cruciform tail design, to the assembly and final polishing of the H1 Racer display model wooden aircraft. The rich color paint scheme and markings of the Hughes H1 Racer are cautiously painted to the assembled Hughes H1 Racer wood display model. Every H-1 Racer aircraft display is a work of art. Hughes H1 display plane model is attached to a durable wooden base so you can place it wherever you like it!
The H-1 was a racing aircraft built by Howard Hughes' company in 1935. It set a world airspeed record and a transcontinental speed record across the United States. The H-1 first flew in 1935 and promptly broke the world land-plane speed record with Hughes at the controls, clocking 352 mph (566 km/h) averaged over 4 timed passes. Hughes apparently ran the plane out of fuel and managed to crash-land without serious damage to either himself or H-1.
