I was facinated by the aircraft in the Aviator movie myself. I found a 1/200 scale Spruce Goose at the Melborne, Florida IPMS show in May for $8.00. It’s a brand I never heard of, but it may be a reboxing or something of the Mini Craft. It’s a Anmark made in 1982, that remains in my stash for now.

Now I am looking for the other two kits Hughes flew in the movie, the Hughes Racer and the unknown sea plane he flew to the party. The only Racer kit I found so far was a balsa wood model which doesn’t appeal to me.

Does anyone know if the Racer was ever made into a plastic kit?

Does anyone know what the seaplane was in the movie and if it’s available in a kit ?

Some years back a guy was doing a monster vacuform version. But he kinda disappeared. Dunno what happened but he was doing a god job of it. Too bad, would like to have seen that one finished.
