Very nice flying machine. The black paint is impressive with its glossy thickness...

Thank you all, mates. Actually the wings are painted "royal blue", but my camera darkened it somehow.

Thanks Mark, you are too kind to me. I saw the real thing (with long wings) in NASM in Washington D.C. and wanted my model to look alike...;)

If I may ask, what paint and coating did you use for the wings?

@Mark - the paint was Pactra Acrylic A003 Royal Blue in several light coats, and the final coat was some automotive gloss rattle-can spray, but I do not remember the brand, sorry. This final coat was quite heavy, further carefully polished with Tamiya Fine Polishing Compound. It is a pity, nevertheless, that the decals in this kit are translucent...

I remember when I first read about the Howard Hughes racers, in an old "Fana de l'Aviation" issue in the early 1990s - and thinking, at the time, that these would be great modelling subjects... It's marvelous that nowadays such kits are available. Great work here, Robert! 👍

Thanks, John 🙂 Thanks, Alex 🙂 I do agree with you Alex, it is great that now you can have not only warplanes on your shelf but also these lesser known fantastic machines.
