Very nice. Some masking problems on the floats and a little too much Future, but still very very nice. Congratulations on a good build.

regards,

Steve

Nicely done Mark. I haven’t seen one of those kits in years. Where did you find it ?

Regards, Rick

Very, very nice job. I did not know that a 1/48 scale of that kit existed. I have the 1/72 scale kit. One of these days i,ll get at it to go along with the Gee Bee and the Travel Air Mystery Ship I have completed. Keep up the good work. Dennis, Fraser, Mi

Very nice. Did the kit come with the dolly? And what did you use for rigging?

Thanks for the compliments guys. I scratch built the dolly from a picture in the instructions. The rigging is elastic sewing thread. I’ve had the kit for awhile it was in the square golden age of aviation box. When I first looked at it I thought it looked a little small to be 1/48 so I measured it. Span is exactly 1/48 scale, length is about 1/16" short so about 3" in scale. I could live with that.
