Unboxing of Black Horse Gilmore Red Lion 2350mm (92.5") ARF - Wedell-Williams Model 44

Time to unbox the 92" Gilmore Red Lion from Black Horse! (plus a bit of footage of the REAL Wedell-Williams NR61Y which is on display at the Crawford Aviation Museum in Cleveland, Ohio.

NR61Y was born in Patterson, Louisiana in 1932. She was a pretty girl with a sleek, smooth NACA cowl housing her chesty Pratt & Whitney R-985. Roscoe Turner flew her to California for the start of the 1932 Bendix race in an unpainted condition. His mechanic and right hand, Don Young, not only had to build her, but paint her in a dark hangar literally just prior to race time. The colors she wore for that racing season were the most famous of all the Wedell paint schemes—silvery crème with red and black trim—and race #121.

Nicknamed in a burst of creativity as the "Gilmore Red Lion," Turner flew her to third place behind Jim Haizlip in the Wedell-Williams #92 (NR536V) and Jimmy Wedell in #44 (NR278V). Poor Roscoe placed third in the Thompson Trophy, as well, trailing Jimmy Doolittle in the Gee Bee R-1 and Jimmy Wedell in #44.

I'm very excited to share this build series with all of you!
